That's the primary use, yes - But mkimage -l is sometimes also handy on the target. I've worked on a project where we used it to see the current versions in flash (similar to the imls command in u-boot). But ok, not that common a feature - Committed, thanks.

It probably makes sense to move fw_printenv there as well. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
