From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 10:39:49 +0000 (+0100) Subject: linux: add support for Image.gz kernel format X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96c26ce86322de1985138958af7a7d14d825afb8;p=buildroot.git linux: add support for Image.gz kernel format arm64 / riscv supports building a gzip compressed 'Image' format kernel, which is sometimes useful. From arch/arm64/Makefile: all: Image.gz Image: vmlinux $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) $(boot)/$@ Image.%: Image $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) $(boot)/$@ (and similar logic for riscv) Future architectures may or may not copy this logic, so for robustness add an explicit Image.gz format rather than copying both Image and Image.gz when the Image format is used.
