I'll have to read up on it first probably. The syntax doesn't make sense to
me yet. Usually, I prefer to understand things before I use them.

Been working "hard" reversing a proprietary NEMA 2000 protocol, and writing
code to display the data I'm reading off the CANBus . . . so no telling
when I'll get around to it. Huge learning experience for me, and I'm no
where near done learning. Luckily for me, Wulfman did most of the protocol
reversing by hand, so I have something to compare things to.

Can't help but wonder if this( bmaptool ) will help solve the problems some
people have been experiencing when trying to flash new images to the eMMC.
I would imagine ( perhaps wrongly ) that's where your motivation lies. Come
to think of it, I've never had this problem personally, because I've never
flashed either of the 2 BBB's I have with me. I should almost write a book
on how *not* to use the eMMC heh.

Still if you need help testing, just let me know.
