AM5718: Reducing the rootfs

curious beast

Part Number: AM5718

Hi all,

While using the createsdcard.sh script we are able to get the sd card with 6.6 gb partition. Our eMMC is just 4 GB. We cannot afford to have such a huge rootfs parition. Is there a way to reduce therootfs parition.

Hi Isaac,

Yes it is possible to customize the filesystem. You can follow the instructions in this FAQ to remove the packages that you may not need in the end system.
