As in a different post, The TF-A build did not create the FIP binaries after deleting the FIP build folder.

This article does not describe how to create a new FIP binary. only how to update. very confusing !

The fiptool does provide a create function but its not listed as one the options in this page: very confusing !

How to configure TF-A

How to use the "Create" option ?

Just use the FIP command to build the FIP.bin even it does not exists. works.

Hello @debugging ,
You are right, we have no complementary explanation for fiptool create command, aside of the fiptool help.

To use it, you just have to do:
fiptool create <name_of_fip>

Then, use fiptool update command to add the different binaries inside, following the article you mentioned.

Kind regards,
Erwan.

Thanks, this question was raised because the issue I have with the TF-A not creating the fip binaries, so I wonder how to do it manually, but the docs did not define it.
