Segger makes high quality stuff, but they’re expensive and their business model is “anti-modern”. The cost to use emCompress is $2500 USD.
Also, they specify that SMASH gets a worse compression ratio than LZMA but is an “order of magnitude less complex measured in lines of code”.
I’m not convinced that fewer lines of code means better performance on embedded systems. If anything, embedded code that has several thousand lines of code typically means there are hundreds of preprocessor macros that enable/disable certain paths depending on your architecture for performance.

- jononor 6y agoLines of code is not all that important. But program size is a key metric for microcontroller-type embedded systems, since the total available FLASH is typically in the 1-1000 kB range.
