Its been a while, don't know if that has changed
FIASCO is more of a container, flasher is able to seperately flash
kernel, jffs2 rootfs etc. I think if I remember correctly you could even
extract different parts in a FIASCO image using the flasher.
Right, I guess I assumed (incorrectly, it turns out) that since the
flasher can take the apart, it can also put them together.
While it seems ideally that one would like to have a tool that can
assemble and flash a full image, it's obviously not necessary.
Also, it seems like the FIASCO image can't be much more than the
sections w/ some kind of header, and maybe a checksum; it seems like
they could be trivially reverse engineered by someone who hadn't
agreed to the EULA (or lived in a country where the EULA restrictions
on reverse engineering were unenforceable).
