|
U-Boot uses Flat Image Tree (FIT) as a standard file format for packaging

|
images that it reads and boots. Documentation about FIT is available at

|
|
|
|
|
|
U-Boot also provides binman for cases not covered by FIT. Examples include
|
|
|
|
|
initial execution (since FIT itself does not have an executable header) and
|
|
|
|
|
dealing with device boundaries, such as the read-only/read-write separation in
|
|
|
|
|
SPI flash.
