The ifdtool can be used to manipulate a firmware image with a IFD. This tool will not take into account the FMAP while modifying the image which can lead to unexpected and hard to debug issues with the firmware image. For example if the -ME region is defined at 6 MB in the IFD but the FMAP only allocates 4 MB for the -ME, then when the ME is added by the ifdtool 6 MB will be written which could -overwrite 2 MB of the BIOS. +ME region is defined at 6 MiB in the IFD but the FMAP only allocates 4 MiB for +the ME, then when the ME is added by the ifdtool 6 MiB will be written which +could overwrite 2 MiB of the BIOS.
