From f94f6e655fc16213b0980c6f462785dc745dc445 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2017 08:31:50 -0700 Subject: dev-manual, ref-manual: Image format implementation changes Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed. The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied to wic images.
