Hi,

Check: http://ti.com/lit/an/sprad09a/sprad09a.pdf?ts=1744007156417&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

Section 3.3.

DTS disabling will enable fast boot. If you are specifically looking for cutting down the kernel size then you will need to disable CONFIG options that are not needed for your use case.

Hi Keerthy

Thanks for your reply.

I want to reduce the kernel size to 2-3MB to achieve a minimal system. Do you have any relevant examples?

Regards
Eason

Hello Eason,

Typically our Linux Image is ~20MB. So 2-3MB is something 10x reduced. We do not have anything on our side.

Something that can be helpful.

Also the Linux arm kernel mailing list: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org.
