Methods, apparatus, and system to compress a data file to form a compressed data file. The data file may be used to configure control of hardware, such as peripheral hardware. The compressed data file may be stored locally or transmitted to another computer device. The compressed data file may be stored in a flash memory. The compressed data file may require less space in flash memory components, relative to flash memory suitable to hold the (original, pre-compressed) data file. Compression and/or decompression may be performed by, for example, a flash memory controller. The compressed data file may be decompressed dynamically, on an as-needed basis, to provide code for execution by a processor and/or to configure a computer device to use hardware or other components. Other software and hardware components do not need to be aware that the data file is compressed in the flash memory.
