Just few more comments, you do not have to use MIC to generate bmap
file. If you do not use MIC, we can discuss this separately.

You can use bmaptool for flashing even without bmap file, in which case
it won't be that fast, but you'll still be able to flash from an URL and
it sitll will be safe (e.g., if give dd /dev/sda by a mistake - say good
bye to your data, but bmaptool will refuse it).

Really, why using copper age tools like dd if we have a lot better and
faster tool?
