The Advanced XIP File System is a Linux kernel filesystem
|
driver that enables files to be executed directly from flash
|
or ROM memory rather than being copied into RAM. It has the
|
ability to store individual *pages* in a file
|
uncompressed/XIP or compressed/Demand Paged.
|
|
So far, the only supported mode is 'XIP all', so all the
|
files that have the execute attribute set will be XIP'ed.
|
|
At the moment, the FS is not supported in Linux mainline
|
(v4.3-rc5), so the kernel has to be built with the axfs
|
patches to be able to read it. Patches can be found at:
