I've noticed that OpenWRT's Makefile-s tend to use -si and -so together with pipe (|) and output redirecting (>).
It was causing problem for my WNDR4500 image - the one generated from stdin didn't work. I've started comparing output of that two methods and I'm attaching results. 1) Using stdin cat vmlinux | ~/openwrt.git/staging_dir/host/bin/lzma e -d16 -si vmlinux-from-si.lzma 2) Using inputFile ~/openwrt.git/staging_dir/host/bin/lzma e -d16 vmlinux vmlinux-from-file.lzma The one generated from stdin has some 0xFF-s in LZMA header and is longer by 5 bytes visible at the end 1) stdin: > hexdump -C vmlinux-from-si.lzma | head 00000000 5d 00 00 01 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 30 09 |].............0.| > hexdump -C vmlinux-from-si.lzma | tail 0010db00 3a 39 d8 2f e2 d9 cf ac 62 ff fb 14 38 48 |:9./....b...8H 2) inputFile > hexdump -C vmlinux-from-file.lzma | head 00000000 5d 00 00 01 00 f4 04 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 09 |]......0......0.| > hexdump -C vmlinux-from-file.lzma | tail 0010db00 3a 39 d8 2f e2 b1 89 f0 16 |:9./.....| Honestly, I'm not really going to analyze that anytime soon. I want to focus on different bugs first. If someone has time for this - would be great. At least, I feel better as it's something reported now. Maybe will make day easier for someone adding support for new device. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
