Creating a minimal filesystem for dm8148



Hello,

I am working on a DM8148 and am booting with SPI. I have been able to compile and burn min uboot, uboot, and the linux kernel that came with EZSDK 5.05.02. I was also able to compile and run the mkfs.jffs2 application that generates the file to burn into flash. The mkfs.jffs2 application takes in the source directory and the destination output file. What is not clear is what minimally needs to be in the source directory in order for the linux distro that comes with the TI EZSDK to boot without error. 

In some testing I have been able to use the DM816x development board to boot using nfs using the targetfs directory which is generated for me by the SDK's setup script. This folder is over 600 MB and contains a lot of stuff. I am limited to 16MB of flash for all components, including both uboot's, the kernel and the filesystem. 

So can anyone help me figure out how to create a filesystem that can boot the linux kernel and fits in my limited flash space?
