rimage is a DSP firmware image creation and signing tool targeting the DSP on certain Intel System-on-Chip (SoC). This is used by the Sound Open Firmware (SOF) to generate binary image files.

The rimage tool can be built with or without logging dictionary support, where such support is required to decipher the log messages produced the the SOF firmware.

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

To build rimage with dictionary support, the SOF source is required. First, clone the SOF source tree from here. Then, do:

$ ./configure --with-sof-source=<full path to SOF source>
$ make
$ make install

Note that creating the SOF firmware image requires dicitionary support.
