Hi @gyuunyuu,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope this message find you well.
Per my understanding that command are used to convert .elf files to flash to program the memory.
Alternatively you can try elf2flash/elf2hex which should have similar function. (more details can be found here page #140)

As for the alt-file-convert command it might be in BETA state due to low utilization.
Please do let us know if such command are useful (i.e. in what scenario this command comes in handy? how does this command helps you? or any other helpful reason) to you and I can submit a request for the stable release.

Best Wishes
BB
