should be compatible, IIRC we just don't mention Union Point explicitly. > > Right now it occurs to me that I have misunderstood the --ifd flag.

What I do in this case is to start with the most simple layout: 0000:0fff fd and then flash only the descriptor to make `--ifd` work again. `ifdtool` may work too but has some quirks: sometimes you have to tell it what descriptor generation to expect and it doesn't warn if you don't, AIUI.
