    dp-arm authored
    fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
    the fip_create program.  It serves as a better base to build on more
    features in the future.
    
    fiptool supports various subcommands.  Below are the currently
    supported subcommands:
    
    1) info   - List the images contained in a FIP file.
    2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
    3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
    4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
    5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file.  This is a new command that
       was not present in fip_create.
    
    To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
    
    To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
    
    To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
    "fiptool info".
    
    A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
    fip_create is provided.  Existing scripts might or might not work with
    the compatibility script.  Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
    fiptool.
