Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. AXFS (Advanced XIP Filesystem) is a compressed read-only file system for Linux, initially developed at Intel, and now maintained at Numonyx. It was designed to utilize execute in place (XIP) alongside compression aiming to reduce boot and program load times, while retaining a small memory footprint for embedded devices. This is achieved by mixing compressed and uncompressed pages in the same executable file. AXFS is free software (licensed under the GPL). Cramfs is another read-only compressed file system that supports XIP (with patches), however it uses a strategy of decompressing entire files, whereas AXFS supports XIP with page granularity.
