| Tool to flash image files to block devices using the block map | |
| bmaptool is a generic tool for creating the block map (bmap) | |
| for a file, and copying files using the block map. The idea is | |
| that large file containing unused blocks, like raw system | |
| image files, can be copied or flashed a lot faster with | |
| bmaptool than with traditional tools like "dd" or "cp". | |
| Relevant optional dependencies: | |
| - Busybox compiled with CONFIG_BZIP2, or BR2_PACKAGE_BZIP2, | |
| to support bz2 compressed images | |
| - BR2_PACKAGE_PIGZ for optimized gzip decompression | |
| - Busybox compiled with CONFIG_LZOP, or BR2_PACKAGE_LZOP, to | |
| support lzo compressed images. | |
| - BR2_PACKAGE_ZIP to support zip compressed images | |
| - BR2_PACKAGE_LZ4 to support lz4 compressed images | |
| - BR2_PACKAGE_ZSTD to support zstd compressed images | |
| - Busybox compiled CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_* or | |
| BR2_PACKAGE_TAR to support tar compressed images | |
| - BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSH to retrieve images over SSH. | |
| - BR2_PACKAGE_SSHPASS to retrieve images over SSH if | |
| password authentication is used. | |
| Image signature verification is not supported as | |
| python-gpgme is not available. Optimized bzip2 decompression | |
| is not supported as pbzip2 is not available. | |
