The idea is 8*4882a593Smuzhiyun that large file containing unused blocks, like raw system 9*4882a593Smuzhiyun image files, can be copied or flashed a lot faster with 10*4882a593Smuzhiyun bmaptool than with traditional tools like "dd" or "cp". 11*4882a593Smuzhiyun 12*4882a593Smuzhiyun https://github.com/intel/bmap-tools 13
