One useful functionality of genimage seems to be that's its capable of creating complex partitioning layouts. Of course we can re-implement it in (gnu build disk-image), but I don't know how complex will it be. Danny, I found the genimage files for each arm/aarch64 boards inside Buildroot repository. They are a valuable source of information, but regardless of the decision we take for (gnu build disk-image), we can find a way to import them and store them as Guile records. I guess I'll start a small implementation to have a clearer view of this topic. Thank you all for the feedback, Mathieu
