RE: TS 7200 kernel image size



For the TS7200 it's the gziped image that goes into the fis reserved region.
I haven't tried with current, but 4.0 fit nicely when we were working with
it.

The gzimage file contains a small executable that unzips the kernel into
ram, followed by the gzipped kernel.
