instead, it contains a much-shorter list of hash values that represent the actual data, and a signature that authenticates that hash list.<br> <br> fs.img is for XO-1 only.  It contains raw data that goes verbatim into the internal NAND FLASH inside the XO-1.<br> <br> fs.crc, for XO-1 only, contains a list of check values that represent the data in fs.img.  Its purpose is to catch corrupted fs.img files, which sometimes happen due to download problems or USB stick errors.  The checksum algorithm in fs.crc (CRC-32) is much weaker than the hash algorithm used in fs.zip.  CRC-32 is good enough to catch accidental file corruption, but not strong enough to prevent a determined attack.<br> <br> fs.zd is a new format that was introduced for XO-1.5.  It combines checking (via the strong hash code) and the actual filesystem image data in one file, with explicit compression to shrink the file to a manageable size.  It was necessary to come up with a new format because XO-1 and XO-1.5 have very different internal storage.  XO-1 uses raw NAND FLASH that is formatted with the JFFS2 filesystem layout, while XO-1.5 uses a micro-SD card that emulates a hard disk, formatted with the same ext2/ext4 filesystem layout.  JFFS2 filesystem data is already internally compressed, so there is no need for explicit compression.  That is not the case for ext2 filesystem data, so the compression had to be explicit in the .zd file format.<br> <br> The fs.zip files for XO-1 and XO-1.5 are similar, but not identical.  For XO-1, fs.zip contains hash values suitable for checking fs.img.  For XO-1.5, fs.zip contains hash values too, but their format is different, being suitable for checking fs.zd.<br> <br> <blockquote cite="mid:SNT110-W14ADC945DEF8F9F32E630BCC770@phx.gbl"> <p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br> </font></p> <p style="font:12px Helvetica"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana">I need to get this done in time for a "show and tell" at Montana State University on Thursday morning.</font></p> <p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br> </font></p> <p style="font:12px Helvetica"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana">Thanks,</font></p> <p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br> </font></p> <p style="font:12px Helvetica"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Verdana">Caryl</font></p> <pre><fieldset class="ecxmimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Testing@lists.laptop.org">Testing@lists.laptop.org</a> <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing</a> </pre> </blockquote> </div> </blockquote></div> </body> </html>
