+other kernel):
+.P
+The legacy image format concatenates the individual parts (for example, kernel
+image, device tree blob and ramdisk image) and adds a 64 byte header containing
+information about the target architecture, operating system, image type,
+compression method, entry points, time stamp, checksums, etc.
+.P
+The new

+with each one aligned to a 4-byte boundary. The existing \(oqdata\(cq property
+in each image will be replaced with \(oqdata-offset\(cq and \(oqdata-size\(cq

+.TP
+.BI \-p " external-position"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-position " external-position"
+Place external data at a static external position. Instead of writing a

+.
+.TP
+\fB\-f \fIimage-tree-source-file\fR | \fBauto
+.TQ
+\fB\-\-fit \fIimage-tree-source-file\fR | \fBauto
Image tree source file that describes the structure and contents of the
FIT image.
-
+.IP
+In some simple cases, the image tree source can be generated automatically. To

+is required.
+.
.TP
-.BI "\-F"
-Indicates that an existing FIT image should be modified. No dtc
-compilation is performed and the \-f flag should not be given.
-This can be used to sign images with additional keys after initial image
-creation.
-
+.B \-F
+.TQ
+.B \-\-update
+Indicates that an existing FIT image should be modified. No dtc compilation will
+be performed and

+after initial image creation.
+.
.TP
-.BI "\-k [" "key_directory" "]"
+.BI \-i " ramdisk-file"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-initramfs " ramdisk-file"
+Append a ramdisk or initramfs file to the image.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-k " key-directory"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-key\-dir " key-directory"
Specifies the directory containing keys to use for signing. This directory
-should contain a private key file <name>.key for use with signing and a
-certificate <name>.crt (containing the public key) for use with verification.
-
+should contain a private key file
+.IR name .key
+for use with signing, and a certificate
+.IR name .crt
+(containing the public key) for use with verification. The public key is only
+necessary when embedding it into another device tree using
+.BR \-K .
+.I name
+defaults to the value of the signature node's \(oqkey-name-hint\(cq property,
+but may be overridden using
+.BR \-g .
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-G " key-file"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-key\-file " key-file"
+Specifies the private key file to use when signing. This option may be used
+instead of \-k.
+.
.TP
-.BI "\-K [" "key_destination" "]"
+.BI \-K " key-destination"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-key\-dest " key-destination"
Specifies a compiled device tree binary file (typically .dtb) to write
public key information into. When a private key is used to sign an image,
the corresponding public key is written into this file for for run-time
verification. Typically the file here is the device tree binary used by
CONFIG_OF_CONTROL in U-Boot.
-
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-g " key-name-hint"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-key\-name\-hint " key-name-hint"
+Overrides the signature node's \(oqkey-name-hint\(cq property. This is
+especially useful when signing an image with
+.BR "\-f auto" .
+This is the
+.I name
+part of the key. The directory part is set by
+.BR \-k .
+This option also indicates that the images included in the FIT should be signed.
+If this option is specified, then
+.B \-o
+must be specified as well.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-o " crypto" , checksum
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-algo " crypto" , checksum
+Specifies the algorithm to be used for signing a FIT image. The default is
+taken from the signature node's \(oqalgo\(cq property.
+The valid values for
+.I crypto
+are:

Specifies that keys used to sign the FIT are required. This means that they
must be verified for the image to boot. Without this option, the verification
will be optional (useful for testing but not for release).
-
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-N " engine"
+.TQ
+.BI \-\-engine " engine"
+The openssl engine to use when signing and verifying the image. For a complete
+list of available engines, refer to
+.BR engine (1).
+.
+.TP
+.B \-t
+.TQ
+.B \-\-touch
+Update the timestamp in the FIT.
+.IP
+Normally the FIT timestamp is created the first time mkimage runs,
+when converting the source .its to the binary .fit file. This corresponds to
+using
+.BR -f .
+But if the original input to mkimage is a binary file (already compiled), then
+the timestamp is assumed to have been set previously.
