Hi Artem, I've used bmaptool in the past (1 year ago roughly). It's a good tool and it certainly helps to distribute huge raw images.
This morning, I tried to create the Tizen:Generic image with bmaptool file. Sadly, this didn't work: mic 0.23 fails with something like "FIOEMAP ioctl failed: not available"... Strange: we're using openSuse 12.3 with a decent kernel (3.7.10). AFAIK, mic doesn't start bmaptool but "is compatible with" the bmaptool principle. If we run 'bmaptool create xxx.raw', this doesn't work as mic copies the temp sparse file to the output file (which is a regular one).
