-The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
-option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
-option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
-from the image:
-
- tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
- -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
- -T ==> set image type to 'type'
- -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
