mkbootimg_tools/ARM

1. Built to be used on Arm devices.

2. All binaries are statically compiled using the arm-linux-androideabi and arm-linux-gnueabi toolchains.

3. Move the bash binary to /system/xbin.

4. The rest must remain in the project folder.

NOTE: This project is designed to work on Android (ARM) devices, however, it will also work on Linux as well. - For it to work on Linux all you have to do is: 1. Open the mkboot script. 2. Change the shebang to /bin/bash. 3. Save the file and have fun.
