Usage

This is a firmware image management tool, that can be used to either parse existing images for information, create concatenated images from unitary components, or split SPKG into separate components.

Command options

Run swicwe --help for complete usage details.

swicwe -P|--parse <file.cwe|file.spk>
or
swicwe -o|--output output.spk -c|--cat file1.cwe file2.cwe [fileN.cwe ...]
or
swicwe -!|--splitlevel1 <file.cwe|file.spk>
or
swicwe -@|--splitlevel2 <file.cwe|file.spk>

Options:

-h,--help	Display help message
--full-help	Display help for advanced options
-P|--parse <file.cwe|file.spk>	Parse and display content of input CWE/SPK file
-c|--cat	Generate a concatenated (SPK) file from input CWE files. Input file names have to be specified at the end of the command line
-!|--splitlevel1 <file.cwe|file.spk>	Split SPKG into top level components in a new directory
-@|--splitlevel2 <file.cwe|file.spk>	Split SPKG into individual images (level 2 components) in a new directory
-o|--output	Output SPK file OR output directory

Example commands

Build a concatenated image

swicwe --output /tmp/image.spk --cat boot.cwe modemz.cwe boot-yocto.cwe legatoz.cwe configFile.cwe

Parse and display image content

swicwe --parse /tmp/image.spk

split SPKG into top level components based on image type

swicwe --splitlevel1 /tmp/image.spk -o output_directory

split SPKG into individual images (level 2 components)

swicwe --splitlevel2 /tmp/image.spk -o output_directory
