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.
