Devices with large amounts of flash but operating in connectivity- constrained areas can benefit from using uncompressed images as this allows delta updates using binary diff algorithms. Connectivity-constrained areas in this context are defined as areas where the connection is very slow, unstable, etcetera, where it is difficult to transfer data in large scale. Add a "none" option to the compression menu and map it to the mksquashfs -no-compression flag to enable this feature. Disable the ability to select extreme compression in this case as that makes absolutely no sense combined with no compression.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
