Sounds good. I was simply looking at the ZyXELNAND target, which does not do that currently. Only realized now that mkubntkernelimage is pretty much identical and does the padding already. So, the new plan would be to merge mkubntkernelimage with what I stared with the jffs2 definition. That way both models can use the same definition and the ubnt-uap-pro KERNEL line changes from KERNEL := kernel-bin | patch-cmdline | lzma | uImage lzma | mkubntkernelimage to KERNEL := kernel-bin | patch-cmdline | lzma | uImage lzma | jffs2 kernel0 Benjamin
