the difference between bz image and z image is in compression mode
not only compression mode
there are many differnces
A uImage file is a kernel with a modified header for u-boot. A tool called mkimage is used to convert a zImage (regular kernel compressed image) to a uImage file. And No, zImage files, as they are, are not compatible with U-Boot. You must convert them
make zImage - Creates a gzip’d kernel image that must be installed manually.
make bzImage - Creates a bzip2’d kernel image that must be installed manual
bz image is compressed image when compared to zimage
suggest me if any thing wrong

I don't plan on using Linux as a primary operating system, since I don't really need to. But Linux offers software knowledge too. I'm curious to try something out with it.
File System is a method to store and organize files and directories on disk. A file system can have 2 different formats called file system types. These formats determine how the information is stored as files and directories.
Very useful article, if I run into challenges along the way, I will share them here.
Thanks,
Kevin
