Hi all, Here's a proposal I've been thinking while working with UBI and finding myself cursing too often.
Apologies for the late submission. --- Improve UBI user space tools ; Summary: Improve UBI userspace tools ; Proposer: Ezequiel García <ezequ...@vanguardiasur.com.ar> == Description == Currently the UBI tools are a bit messy and not straight-forward to use. In addition, there are quite a few different -yet related- commands to accomplish different stages of an UBI/UBIFS preparation or flashing. A possible way of dealing with such complexity would be revisiting these tools and introduce a new centralized tool (git-like), with sub-commands for the different tasks. The benefit of this effort is obviously to simplify the (exceedingly) complicated task of dealing with UBI and UBI volumes setup, both off-box and in-box (presumably for developers testings). For instance, the ubinize tool requires the setup of an 'ini' file specifying the volumes configuration, which is usually a bit annoying. == Related work == I'm not aware of any == Scope == A first working proposal of the centralized tool could be complete in 4 weeks. This work should be done as close to upstream as possible to come up with something useful to regular UBI users. == Contractor Candidates == None yet.
