Hi Markus,

What do you mean by 'run images using runtime test facilities'?
testimage? ptest?
'scp' and 'ip' are added to HOSTTOOLS if 'testimage' is inherited.
What's the use case that still needs 'scp' and 'ip' unconditionally?

In addition, if we add these two utilities to HOSTTOOLS unconditionally.
Please cc to doc people to also change the QuickStart.

Regards,
Chen Qi
