+
+table2image() calls lua_dump_table() with the 'key' parameter being
+NULL and the 'img' parameter set. Subsequently, dict_insert_value() is
+called with key == NULL if the Lua stack key's type is string or number,
+segfaulting SWUpdate.

+Subject: [PATCH] u-boot: fix script format when !CONFIG_UBOOT_NEWAPI
+
+When !CONFIG_UBOOT_NEWAPI and hence linking against U-Boot's
+tools/env/lib.a, SWUpdate's bootloader/uboot.c calls lib.a's
+fw_parse_script() which expects input to be in format, quoting:
+ ...
+ * Each line has a couple with name, value:
+ * <white spaces>variable_name<white spaces>variable_value
+
+This was changed in SWUpdate by commit dab1b70 "Unify bootloader
+script format" to be '='-separated instead of space-separated,
+hence breaking the integration with the "old" libubootenv binding.
