Online external images usage
- updated: Fri 26 May 2023 01:47:31 PM CST
- At this moment testing images not visible inside Wizard need to use force to show all files via write into eMMC …
- Need to try to improve OOWOW image logic! original images slow check and show warnings, and don't have meta information
- Need to share this information with images developers for making better results
- Test repack image with
xze- OK - Test redirect usage to dl again with
xze- OK
Original Armbian images

Image oowow compatible requirements
We recommend using zxe feature for image developers, to provide better service for users like as:
- Provide additional information about images
- Its fully compatible with the common xz format, and same possible to use anywhere
- Fast-checking image integrity before writing it
- Make warranty its image will be suitable for current board installation
- Fast optimal compression for fastest decompression on SBC
- Image signup
- etc…
Sure all requirements are optional, but why not follow them by other developers, because its images will be created especially for our devices
