help | |
LZMA has two well-known command-line tools: | |
1. lzma from LZMA SDK | |
2. lzma from XZ Utils (previously LZMA Utils) | |
This package provides the former one which: | |
1. Gives more control over compression parameters | |
2. Gets named lzma_alone to allow coexistence | |
This tool may be used to prepare firmwares for bootloaders | |
with limited LZMA support. | |
E.g. Broadcom's CFE bootloader for MIPS BCM47xx devices is | |
known to fail to boot images using LZMA compression with | |
dictionary. | |
