Very interesting! Thanks so much for posting this information.

The meta-ti method uses a combination of losetup, sfdisk, dd, and
others to create its images (which is what I have traditionally used
to create my own images). losetup (for sure and probably sfdisk too)
requires privilege in order to work (which probably accounts for all
the messy setup).

The meta-fsl-arm method, on the other hand, uses GNU parted which
doesn't appear to require privilege and does away with losetup and
sfdisk.

I'm glad you posted this information as I'll now be converting my
scripts to use parted as well.
