+.SH NAME
+mkimage \- Generate image for U-Boot
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mkimage
+.RB [\fIoptions\fP]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.B mkimage
+command is used to create images for use with the U-Boot boot loader.
+Thes eimages can contain the linux kernel, device tree blob, root file
+system image, firmware images etc., either separate or combined.
+
+.B mkimage
+supports two different formats:
+
+The old,
+.I legacy image
+format concatenates the individual parts (for example, kernel image,
+device tree blob and ramdisk image) and adds a 64 bytes header
+containing information about target architecture, operating system,
+image type, compression method, entry points, time stamp, checksums,
+etc.
+
+The new,
+.I FIT (Flattened Image Tree) format
+allows for more flexibility in handling images of various and also
+enhances integrity protection of images with stronger checksums.
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
