Building and using the FIP tool
Firmware Image Package (FIP) is a packaging format used by TF-A to package
firmware images in a single binary. The number and type of images that should
be packed in a FIP is platform specific and may include TF-A images and other
firmware images required by the platform. For example, most platforms require
a BL33 image which corresponds to the normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or
U-Boot).
The TF-A build system provides the make target fip
to create a FIP file
for the specified platform using the FIP creation tool included in the TF-A
project. Examples below show
