Currently there's four ways of doing this: cmdlineparsing, Redboot, ARM way or my own way. For various reasons I won't use the cmdline, so it's either Redboot or ARM, in which case my preference is Redboot since I assume that it's more likely to be maintained in the future. Unfortunately I do not use Redboot, but u-boot, so I have to develop my own tool for writing the partition tables. Of course, there are several ways to go about this, but I prefer a generic Linux tool which can create/modify the partition table. This way I can run the tool on both my host and target and create partitions as images or at runtime. But before I go ahead, I want to get some opinions whether to use the Redboot or ARM tables. And of course, I would very must like to know if a tool already exists...:) Thanks KimM
