Embedded Data Compression System (emCompress)
emCompress is a compression system that is able to reduce the storage
requirements of data that must be embedded into an application. Compress
on the host in advance, decompress in the target on demand.
A
compressed version of the data is stored in the flash memory of the
target system. In the target, a small, fast decompressor can decompress
the data on-the-fly, when ever it is required. The decompressor can
decompress into RAM or send the output to an application defined
function. It can be used with little or no RAM on the target side for
decompression; the amount of RAM available to the decompressor is taken
into account during compression and an appropriate compression
algorithm is automatically selected.
