22 The code is intended to decompress kernel, being compressed using lzma utility
23 build using 7zip LZMA SDK. This utility is located in the LZMA_Alone directory
24
25 decompressor code expects that your .trx file consist of three partitions:
26
27 1) decompressor itself (this is gziped code which pmon/cfe will extract and run
28 on boot-up instead of real kernel)
29 2) LZMA compressed kernel (both streamed and regular modes are supported now)
30 3) Root filesystem
31
32 Please be sure to apply the following patch for use this new trx layout (it will
33 allow using both new and old trx files for root filesystem lookup code)
