I think that this is what you mean:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools/+bug/744449 and would
let l-m-c only create images with the option of writing it to mmc.

The support for different SD layouts in hwpacks in in this spec which
I'll be working on now:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Specs/11.05/HardwarePacksV2. At least
I guess the proposed field partition_layout would support what you
want to do.


Thanks,

Mattias
