It's a drop-in, multi OS, Go based replacement of firmware-release.exe binary
provided by Anycubic to prepare Marlin firmware that will erase EEPROM on your Vyper.
This program will prepare the firmware.bin the same way as the original binary and
will work on basically any OS, even in container environment.
I've created this because the original binary is ONLY for Windows, and there is no source code around there. Also finding original exec is a hell of a work, since I couldn't find it anywhere on Anycubic site and Vyper Repository.
You can also use it to create a binary that won't erase EEPROM. Use flag -erase-eeprom=false.
The input binary will just be copied and renamed.
If needed you can override name and extension using flags -custom-name and -extension.
You can easily use this tool in CI.
