The input file is treated as a binary blob to be packaged at the specified address.

Handy when the application expects to find data at a known location in flash.
e.g. Config data, display resources, etc.

Yeah - it is a nice idea, but feels a bit weird in a tool called elf2uf2... but we will add such support if we have reason to add functionality related to making UF2s in the future

I repeat the request - i use it so users can flash an extra file with some custom config data to the end of the flash without needing to update the entire firmware. So far using a little custom tool, but being able it with what is in the sdk would be cleaner.
