- generate the Boot Strap File (AKA Volume Top File, or VTF) for Inte(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family firmware images

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.
If no options are specified, tool prints usage.
