Package Information

Descriptionrust implementation of bmap image copying tool

bmap-rs is a Rust implementation of tools for working with bmap (block map) files, inspired by the bmap-tools project.

It provides a command-line utility to efficiently copy disk images to files or block devices using bmap metadata. By leveraging the bmap format, only the mapped (used) portions of an image is written, resulting in faster and safer image flashing compared to traditional tools such as dd or cp.

The tool is particularly useful for flashing large system images to storage devices such as SD cards or USB drives, while also verifying data integrity during the copy process.

Currently, bmap-rs implements the "copy" functionality, supporting local image files and associated .bmap metadata. The project aims to provide a lightweight, dependency-free alternative to the original Python implementation, with benefits such as improved performance and memory safety. This package contains the following binaries built from the Rust crate "bmap-rs": - bmap-rs
