This tool can View and print to screen theh contents of SII/EEPROM files and
ESI/XML files.  In addition it is possible to generate a valid SII binary from
a supported ESI file.

For more information please refer to the main documentation_.

=======

To build `siitool` please make sure to install `libxml2-dev` on
your system. The prefered way is with your local packet manager (eigher
(`apt(1)` or `rpm(1)` depending on your system).

  $ make

to build the `siitool`. After that it is recommendet to install the software
with ::

  $ sudo make install

This will install `siitool` to `/usr/local/bin` and will install a supportive
man page. To change the default install location simply change the `PREFIX`
variable in the Makefile to the location you prefer.

Example
=======

Generate SII binaries from ESI files ::

  $ ./siitool -o drive.bin drive.xml

Print EEPROM content in a human-readable format ::

  $ ./siitool -p drive.bin
  
Generate header file from binaries ::

  $ ./bin2header drive.bin tiesc_eeprom.h tiesc_eeprom

with the tool from TI (``<sysbios>/tools/bin2header/``)
