Usage:

flashtool.exe -1 -fcfg <config-file-path> -sdat <sensor-data-file-path> -bin <flash-image-path> [-flash_size <flash-device-size>] [-max_size <max-image-size>] [-extension | -base <address>] [-spaces] [-mapping]

<config-file-path>
The path to the text file(*.fcfg) which contains the details of the flash image which should be created.

-sdat <sensor-data-file-path>
The path and name of the XSDAT file.

-bin <flash-image-path>
The path to the file where the flash image will be stored for subsequent programming.

-flash <flash-device-size>
The size of Flash device.

This parameter is optional, default is 0x200000

-extension | -base <address>
Produces a full base flash image, including tables of contents.
  -extension produces only an image of assets which could be used for extension of the flash.
  -base <address> applies only to Extension images and defines the address in memory where the image will be written. If the Extension image contains command sequences, this is used to adjust the pointers.
This parameter is optional, default is -base 0

-spaces
To generate binary file with extra blank space after every TOC
This parameter is optional, default is no space

-mapping
To generate a text file that maps all binary records with their respective address.
