+ If you want to add compressed kernel support to a new board, and the
+ board supports uart16550 compatible serial port, please select
+ SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to
+ debug it.
+
+ If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you
+ can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to
+ debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as
+ arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does.
+
+ After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option
+ to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a
+ little.
