Hi Tom, I agree... I'm a huge fan of binman. I just don't want to replace current constructs that use env and/or config items on a clean code directory with replacements that require code diffs to do the same. I'm simply wanting to wrap binman sections with Kconfig items. Is there a way to use environment variables within binman sections (ie to wrap sections or override filenames)? Best Regards, Tim
