Subject: FDF file syntax question?
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2017 01:14:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <F568B073-B921-4D7E-9A2A-3CB11CF8203C@apple.com> (raw)

Is there a way to make the FV defined in the FD section be only big enough to contain the data? The remaining area could be 0xFF (erase value). If the FV is read only there is no point reading the extra data from the FLASH device if all the bytes are 0xFF. 

For example if we make an FV to be compressed the [options] section in the Build output only has the block size, but if it comes from the FD section then you get a base address and block count. 

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
