+-----------------------------------------------------+

If there is a lot of things to say about a tool put it in a README.toolname
file (or in a README file in the dedicated directory for the tool).



../apps/ramtools/  - Build and unpacks RAM disk filesystem images.
mkfs.jffs          - Build JFFS - Journaling Flash File System image. 
                     (src/mkfs.jffs)
genromfs           - Build ROMFS image. 
                     (src/genromfs)
boot_elinux        - Boots a vmlinux file, calls svinto_boot with the correct
                     parameters, some info extracted from the vmlinux file.
cris-strip.pl      - Strips info from objectfiles.
cris-sym-tab       - Generate a symbol table from cris programs.
e100boot/          - This contains the ETRAX100 boot loader program, installs
                     svinto_boot program.
imgsum             - Computes the checksum for a specified image.
                     (src/imgsum)
init_env_elinux.pl - Creates an 'init_env' that sets proper environment 
                     variables if executed like this: '. init_env'.
                     You should be in your development 'root' when you
                     run it: 'tools/init_env_elinux.pl'
jasm               - Juliette assembler tool
juliette_regs.pl   - Used by jasm.
mknod_elinux       - Used to create etries in a romfs_meta.txt file instead
                     of using the real 'mknod' program. This way you don't
                     have to be root to build a target filesystem.
mkprod             - Main product builder script. Uses a 'prodspec' file and
                     builds and install the files in a product.
                     See the products defined in the products/ directory
optlibs            - Used to optimise shared libraries to decrease size and
                     reduce runtime linking time.
                     It can be used by the mkprod tool.
src/sermon         - A simple serial port sniffer for Linux, 
                     see src/sermon/README.
svinto_boot        - The ETRAX100 boot loader program, used by boot_elinux.
