Description
This command creates an image in the FIS directory. The data for the image must exist in RAM memory before the copy. Typically, you would use the RedBoot load command to load file into RAM and then the fis create command to write it to a flash image.
Examples
Trying to create an extant image, will require the action to be verified.
RedBoot>fis create RedBoot -f 0xa0000000 -b 0x8c400000 -l 0x20000An image named ’RedBoot‚ exists - continue (y/n)?n
Create a new test image, let the command find a suitable place.
