Reg RIFF Tool support.

[Benn Pörscke]

Hi,

Here is some info about using the snowball_emmc flag. 
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/ChangeRootDevice

There are probably more on the Linaro site.

To get some focus on the problem you should add a error report on the 
linaro-image-tool at launchpad.net. https://launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools
