You may have a combined kernel+rootfs partition and a corresponding binary image which you flash directly at the right address (say kernel+rootfs) withouth having to do any split between the kernel and rootfs binaries. There might be plenty of other valid uses cases. -- Florian _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
