From 81d694e30b4926fea057bd3e46d996a8f098b95a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Szabolcs Hubai Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2021 01:32:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ipq40xx: use zImage for GL.iNet GL-B1300, GL-S1300 to shrink below 4096k In the "ipq40xx: switch to Kernel 5.10" discussion at GitHub, Adrian noted [0] that these GL.iNet Conexa series devices, GL-B1300 and GL-S1300 failed their image generation [1] as their gzipped uImage kernel went above 4096k. While notifying the vendor about this problem [2], I tested all U-Boot releases from GL.iNet: - they really fail to boot kernel above 4096k - they don't support lzma: "Unimplemented compression type 3" - but they boot zImage Using zImage (xz compression) the kernel is 2909k which is more than a megabyte away from the KERNEL_SIZE := 4096k limit. The gzip compressed version would be 4116k.
