💡 What: The optimization refactors scripts/belkin-header.py to stream file I/O instead of reading the entire payload into memory at once. It writes a 64-byte placeholder for the header, streams the payload in chunks while computing the CRC and total size, and finally overwrites the placeholder with the generated header.
🎯 Why: Reading the entire firmware payload into memory at once created massive O(N) memory complexity, resulting in heavy memory footprint when building large firmware images.
📊 Impact: Reduces memory usage from ~100+MB down to ~12MB for a 50MB firmware image (a ~90% decrease), shifting the memory usage to an O(1) complexity and significantly decreasing the likelihood of out-of-memory errors on build servers.
🔬 Measurement: Verified using the time -v command to track "Maximum resident set size" on large test.bin inputs locally, yielding consistent 12MB consumption.
