Implement a crude but functioning sysupgrade image check for Raspberry Pi. The code only checks if the master boot record boot signature (0x55aa) is present in the first 512-bytes at the correct location. This can prevent the odd, accidental bricking of a system when flashing the wrong file.
The platform check supports both gzipped and raw images.
