Running the contained script the directory will be populated with all need files (LzmaTypes.h, LzmaDecode.*). Anyway, I can resubmit the patch including all files. The LZMA SDK is released under LGPL with exceptions but I don't understand if the license is compatible with the u-boot's license. For this reason I omitted the sources from the SDK. > > Please make sure that a patch contains all files that belong to > it. > > Also, please explain what this new code is useful for.

Of course, the LZMA is slower than LZ. Anyway, if the LZMA SDK license is compatible with U-boot , I think that LZMA should be chosen by firmware developer when the flash memory space is a critical resource.
