Using the SPI Flash Tools

The SPI Flash Tools, along with the metadata and flash image configuration in the
sysimage archive, are used to create a Flash.bin file that can be installed on the
board and booted.
Open a new terminal session and extract the contents of the sysimage archive:
# tar -xvf sysimage_*.tar.gz
Extract and install SPI Flash Tools:
# tar -xvf spi-flash-tools*.tar.gz
Note: Extract all files to a directory that does not include the original tar files.
The sysimage* directory contains the following preconfigured layout.conf files:
 release build base SKU (non-secure)
 debug build base SKU (non-secure
 release build secure SKU
 debug build secure SKU
Depending on what kind of image you want to build, you must be in either the
sysimage.CP-8M-debug or the sysimage.CP-8M-release directory.
The layout.conf file defines how the various components will be inserted into the
final Flash.bin file to be flashed onto the board. The layout.conf consists of a
number of [sections] with associated address offsets, file names, and parameters.
Each section must reference a valid file, so it is necessary to update the paths or
create symbolic links to the valid files.
