Improve speed of burning

[MihanLee]

Hi author

We found that it takes nearly 20 minutes to burn an image which is about 4GB
Is there any command to improve the speed or which code could we modify for that?

Best regards
Mingheng

what's method do you use burn image? If use uuu -b emmc_all *wic, which should be some minutes.

Now we are using "uuu -b emmc_al *.wic" takes about 20mins, wic file size is about 4GB.

try change uboot, some emmc is slow when write small chunk data.

    LF-7382: fastboot: improve emmc write speed
    tested at iMX8MM platfrom reduce almost half write time.
    (499s vs 1000s).
    About 1/4 improve at 8DXL platform.
    100*512 = 51k, which small than emmc erase block size 64k,
    which may cause more page management in emmc.
    Increase to 4096, about 2M write to emmc each time.
