Currently as part of our u-boot's update process it must load the entire os/rootfs image into ram. This causes issues on systems with less available memory and constrains how large the rootfs can grow to. One of the proposed solutions is to modify the u-boot upgrade process so that it processes the os/rootfs image in chunks, rather than loading it entirely into memory.

  • Verify the image by chunks
  • Write the image by chunks
  • Update docs to reflect new upgrade process
