Description:

The mkimage.py script creates an image from the .tar files generated by mktar. This script extracts from the .tar file, creates the buildfiles, creates temporary .image files for each partition, and then creates the diskimage config file to create the final disk image. The bootable image file(s) (.image) are placed in the specified output file, followed by the embedded filesystem files (or any other type of image). With the exception of bootable images, all image files are padded up to the block size specified on the command line. If you don't specify a blocksize, the default is 64K.

Examples:

To run mkimage.py, you must specify the -o option and run the script from the location where the .tar files are located.
