| 24 | ------------- |
| 25 | |
| 26 | imls is an implementation of a Linux command line tool to access |
| 27 | to raw flash partitions and list images made with mkimage command. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | For building against older versions of the MTD headers (meaning before |
| 30 | v2.6.8-rc1) it is required to pass the argument "MTD_VERSION=old" to |
| 31 | make. |
