Compression Options

The prepended kernel header specifies compression in the download image. There are multiple approaches you can take to prepend the header; each approach can specify compression.

For final production or for flashing updated images, most customers create custom flashing CFG files.

There are several advantages to using a custom CFG file. It can specify:

  • Different kernel images for recovery and primary partitions.
  • Ternary partition.
  • RAMDisk or other feature in recovery partition or vice-versa.
