Whay do we use this IAR tool? Can not we replace this by objcopy or similar GNU tools?

[drasko]

This tool is missing executive permissions, I had to do:

chmod +x RTL00_SDKV35a/component/soc/realtek/8195a/misc/iar_utility/common/tools/pick

and

chmod +x RTL00_SDKV35a/component/soc/realtek/8195a/misc/iar_utility/common/tools/padding

I still do not understand what is the role of this tool and why do we use proprietary tools here?

I'm also using it and have no idea what purpose those pick and padding tools serve... I'm trying understand from in/out comparison...
