The Advanced XIP File System is a Linux kernel filesystem | |
driver that enables files to be executed directly from flash | |
or ROM memory rather than being copied into RAM. It has the | |
ability to store individual *pages* in a file | |
uncompressed/XIP or compressed/Demand Paged. | |
So far, the only supported mode is 'XIP all', so all the | |
files that have the execute attribute set will be XIP'ed. | |
At the moment, the FS is not supported in Linux mainline | |
(v4.3-rc5), so the kernel has to be built with the axfs | |
patches to be able to read it. Patches can be found at: | |
