Synopsis

  GenVtf.exe --version

Description

GenVtf generates the Boot Strap File (AKA Volume Top File, or VTF) for IPF images. This utility parses the input BSF inf file and gets the component information. If all the required components are in a single VTF file, then only one VTF Base Address and Size is needed and only one raw data output file and one symbol output file (which is the symbol of raw data) is needed. If there is a component required for the the second VTF file but there is no second VTF Base Address and Size specified in the command line interface, then this utility will exit with a related error message; if there is a second VTF Base Address and Size specified, then two raw data output files and one symbol output file will be created.

  -s FwVolumeSize, --size FwVolumeSize
                        FwVolumeSize is the size of Firmware Volume.
  -o FileName,     --output FileName
                        File will be created to store the ouput content.
  -v, --verbose         Turn on verbose output with informational messages.

Example

Generate one VTF file with inf file name, base address and size specified in command line and without output filename specified. Default filename VTF1.RAW will be used.

  GenVtf -f bsf.inf -r 0xFFE00000 -s 0x200000

Generate two VTF files with inf file name, base address and size specified in command line and without output filename specified. Default filename VTF1.RAW and VTF2.RAW will be used.

  GenVtf -f bsf.inf -r 0xFFE00000 -s 0x200000 -r 0xFFD00000 -s 0x100000

Generate one VTF file with inf file name, base address and size specified in command line and output filename specified.

  GenVtf -o file.tmp -f bsf.inf -r 0xFFE00000 -s 0x200000

Generate two VTF files with inf file name, base address and size specified in command line and output filename specified.

  GenVtf -o file1.tmp -o file2.tmp -f bsf.inf -r 0xFFE00000 -s 0x200000 -r 0xFFD00000 -s 0x100000
