Is there an "rpi-imager" CLI that I can use via TinyCore/PiCore?
Looking at the official https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager (https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager), it appears it's only for Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora. TIA

There's this for CorePure64: http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/rpi-imager.tcz.info

Hmm I actually came across that but given it was only under the x86/64 repo and none of the ARM archs (correct me if I'm misunderstanding that), I assumed it wouldn't be usable on the Pi. Would that be the case?
I appreciate the response.

The app depends on qt-5.x, which is very large and not as yet available for piCore.

You mention cli. If you are running from a cli, there is not much more you need than "dd"
What rpi-imager does is to have a online driven menu system to select images to download and then write.

Yes it does and I think it also config's some files within the boot partition, like
the wifi credential. So you can boot some headless pi's, and get access.

not afaik

you could try and download/extract/run it under tc ( searching/adding missing dependencies as requited)
*$ ldd rpi-imager #might provide hints as to whats missing
The app depends on qt-5.x, which is very large and not as yet available for piCore.
or just use dd? ??? ... and script the requited image config changes
