Thanks. We should really strive to get the functionality of the utility into U-Boot itself. Our mkimage already supports "custom wrappers" for i.MX and Kirkwood (cf. tools/{imximage,kwbimage}.c), so why not extend it for the AIS stuff? Dependencies on external utilities is always a bad thing and breaks easily as was just demonstrated.
