 ===== Dump optimization =====
-  * Before make dump from eMMC need make some optimization via __ OOWOW => Advanced => __
+  * Prepare all content on eMMC (clean cached, temp, logs, files manually by hand)
-  * Make a eMMC dump to SD/USB its will be automatically decreased as possible
+  * Boot into OOWOW
-  * Repack it by ''xze'', if need to use it for online installation

+Be sure your system must resize root-fs back to maximal size automatically at 1st boot, for example ''resize2fs /dev/rootfs''

+===== Basic Khadas file-name format =====
+WIP: ...
+```
+SYNTAX:  boardname-system[-info]+.img[.xz|gz|zst]
+```
+All in lowercase only, use '-' as splitter, no spaces, no Unicode only basic Latin ... chars, file-name size less 80 symbols.
+Examples: https://dl.khadas.com/.images/vim4/
+===== XZE =====
+We recommend using [[https://github.com/khadas/krescue/blob/master/tools/xze|xze]] features for image developers, to provide better service for users like as:
+  * Provide additional meta 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 a warranty it will be suitable for the current board installation
+  * Fast optimal compression for fastest decompression on SBC
+  * Image signup
+  * etc...
+==== XZE usage examples ====
+The packing process is very simple just need to add some additional meta information ...
+```sh pack raw image
+xze "vim1s-ha-supervised-debian-11-minimal-linux-5.4-fenix-1.5.1-230623.img" \
+ --meta \
+ label="Home Assistant" \
+ builder="Repack" \
+ date="$(LANG=C TZ= date)" \
+ match=BOARD=VIM1S \
+ link=https://www.home-assistant.io/ \
+ duration=180 \
+ desc="Home Assistant / debian 11 / linux 5.4 / fenix 1.5.1 / 230623"
+```
+Also, we can get full information about xze-packed image
+```sh check image meta info
+./xze YOUR-IMAGE.img.xz
+```
+Just one more example
+```shell
+~$ ./xze edge2-openfyde-r114.img.xz
