The idea is 12 that large file containing unused blocks, like raw system 13 image files, can be copied or flashed a lot faster with 14 bmaptool than with traditional tools like "dd" or "cp". 15 16 Relevant optional dependencies: 17 18 - Busybox compiled with CONFIG_BZIP2, or BR2_PACKAGE_BZIP2, 19 to support bz2 compressed images 20 21 - BR2_PACKAGE_PIGZ for optimized gzip decompression 22 23 - Busybox compiled with CONFIG_LZOP, or BR2_PACKAGE_LZOP, to 24 support lzo compressed images. 25 26 - BR2_PACKAGE_ZIP to support zip compressed images 27 28 - BR2_PACKAGE_LZ4 to support lz4 compressed images 29 30 - BR2_PACKAGE_ZSTD to support zstd compressed images 31 32 - Busybox compiled CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_* or 33 BR2_PACKAGE_TAR to support tar compressed images 34 35 - BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSH to retrieve images over SSH. 36 37 - BR2_PACKAGE_SSHPASS to retrieve images over SSH if 38 password authentication is used. 39 40 Image signature verification is not supported as 41 python-gpgme is not available. Optimized bzip2 decompression 42 is not supported as pbzip2 is not available. 43 44 https://github.com/intel/bmap-tools 45
