Hello! If that AC5 TIM format is different than A3720 TIM then it really
makes sense to create a new tool. Forking mvebu64boot into completely
new project seems like the easiest way how to achieve working tool
without being afraid to break existing support.

Anyway, is not there any Marvell tool for this AC5 TIM format? Like
A3720 TBB or WtpDownloader?
