524 Copies a list of image partitions into an image buffer and generates the image partition table while doing so
526 Example image partition table:
528 fwup-ptn partition-table base 0x00800 size 0x00800
529 fwup-ptn os-image base 0x01000 size 0x113b45
530 fwup-ptn file-system base 0x114b45 size 0x1d0004
531 fwup-ptn support-list base 0x2e4b49 size 0x000d1
533 Each line of the partition table is terminated with the bytes 09 0d 0a ("\t\r\n"),
534 the end of the partition table is marked with a zero byte.
536 The firmware image must contain at least the partition-table and support-list partitions
537 to be accepted. There aren't any alignment constraints for the image partitions.
539 The partition-table partition contains the actual flash layout; partitions
540 from the image partition table are mapped to the corresponding flash partitions during
541 the firmware upgrade. The support-list partition contains a list of devices supported by
544 The base offsets in the firmware partition table are relative to the end
545 of the vendor information block, so the partition-table partition will
546 actually start at offset 0x1814 of the image.
548 I think partition-table must be the first partition in the firmware image.
