#### Custom Ubuntu Core image builder

Toolset to build Ubuntu Core images for various embedded boards.
Unlike the official ubuntu-image it supports image format for various custom flash tools like fastboot, uuu, AmbaUSB, or Qualcomm proprietary flash tools.
Created images represent each partition of the system, so only specific partitions can be flashed if needed. In addition, created images are in sparse format, to speed up the flashing process.
