what is the difference between zimage bz image and u image

Wednesday, December 15, 2010

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
