There are many alternative approaches. > So, two question here: > 1. Is there a tool already which takes an environment description in some > form and produces a flashable blob? Yes, several, actually. If you insist on a binary blob, tools/envcrc has a --binary option to export the embedded environment as a binary blob. However, I'd recommend to put your environment settings into a text file and create a script file from it, which you can then load and run on the target. > 2.
