Comment (by Chris Johns):
The post link process is badly defined and implemented inconsistently in
the BSPs that supported it. I suspect it is only of use in a limited
number of cases and in specific use cases for some hardware
configurations. The data in the .cfg files is important and should be kept
until we can find a suitable way to export the important details to all
application build systems.
I do not think I have used the `bin2boot` method of booting a PC and
current use the standard ELF file our link process generates via the iPXE
boot loader that is loaded by a BIOS PXE loader. All this stuff is widely
available, clearly documented and supported.
