Thanks. I should learn to RTFM...

The README states:
To generate a firmware file for use with tvflash, use Mellanox's
InfiniBurn tool and save a firmware image in binary format to a file.

In the long run, do we need either of the following:
1. Mellanox to release their firmware in binary form
2. An open source tool to do this conversion
