Reg RIFF Tool support.

[Venkat Raghavulu]

Hi Benn,

Thank you for your support.

This is the command I issued:
./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --image-file
snowball_ics_24-01.img --dev snowball_emmc --system system.tar.bz2
--userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2

I got a snowball_ics_24_01.img file which was about 2GB in size. The
help says that, I can use the "--image-size", am not sure, what is the
number I can specify for best size. Not specifying it got a size of 2GB.
Well size is not my big problem.

The issue is that: the created .img file when flashed did not boot, I
did not see any traces coming out.

I guess probably the .ssw files are not present in the .img file(and
hence were not flashed), am not sure. These .ssw files are accessed by
the do_image.py. How to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Venkat.
