Here's a start for something I've wanted for a while already:  a small
collection of selected tools I need to manipulate firmware images.

This includes extracting/adding certain regions, changing files inside
the coreboot file system, swapping payloads, dumping/analyzing specific
parts, etc.

The number of tools at upstream is huge and many of them are platform
specific, require patches or simply don't work at platforms other than
Linux, but with such a package I no loner have to spin up Linux VMs to
tinker around unless I want to build new images.

I have patches for other tools around but those need polishing, so this
is the basic package with generic handling for tools;  adding new ones
is trivial--perhaps this enables other interested users to add their
favourite tool?

        collection of utilities to work with firmware images

        Description:
        coreboot is an extended firmware platform that delivers a lightning 
fast and
        secure boot experience on modern computers and embedded systems. As an 
Open
        Source project it provides auditability and maximum control over 
technology.

        While it is not (yet) possible to build coreboot firmware on OpenBSD, 
this
        package contains the following utilities to work with existing images:

        * ifdtool       Extract and dump Intel Firmware Descriptor information
