This package provides a set of tools originally developed for the OpenWrt project. They allow working with various firmware formats that are required for flashing new images on embedded devices. One of tools (mkhilinkfw) depends on OpenSSL and doesn't support any other SSL library (like wolfSSL) directly. It can be used with wolfSSL using its compatibility layer though.

Firmware utils are tools that can be used for managing
|
|
platform / device / vendor specific firmware images. Depending
|
|
on a specific tool it may be possible to read information,
|
|
extract data, modify or build an image from a scratch.
|
|
|
|
A common target usage of firmware utils is to upgrade kernel
|
|
and / or rootfs. Depending on device it may be required to
|
|
extract a part of firmware image and flash it.
