The ARM zImage is supposed to be self-extracting, right? Is it possible to package that as an uncompressed code for u-boot? lzma-loader was created at the time when MIPS didn't have zboot support. In ramips, the lzma-loader does the same work as the kernel zboot image: It's a loader which extracts the actual kernel code to the memory. The compressed kernel is linked as a part of the lzma-loader so it doesn't need any flash access. -- Regards, Chuanhong Guo _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
