Bmaptool is a disk imaging utility that was previously maintained by Intel but is no longer under active development. The project has been discontinued by Intel, with the company ceasing all maintenance, bug fixes, new releases, and updates. Intel no longer accepts patches or contributions to this project. The tool was designed for creating and using block map (bmap) files to efficiently copy disk images. Block map files contain metadata about which blocks in an image file contain data, allowing for faster and more efficient disk imaging operations by skipping empty blocks. The original Intel-maintained version at the previous location is deprecated and will likely be removed. The project has been transferred to the Yocto Project and continues development at a new repository location. Users requiring ongoing support or development of this tool are advised to use the Yocto Project fork or create their own independent fork for maintenance.
