All,
It was found that the ubuntu-desktop is a bit memory hungry on this
i.MX53
QuickStart board. There is a large chunk of memory being reserved for the graphics/video drivers, and the memory size reserved has to consider the worst case. And we have to live with this before the unified memory
allocator
is available.
I don't yet have a /proc/meminfo after system is right up, I'll get some statistics a bit later. However, I do want to know if we have some memory

footprint evaluation of the existing ubuntu-desktop (we are using
unity-2d)?
And what can we do to improve on that?
There's some old data I recorded on netbook-efl which is probably the closest data I know about:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/MemoryFootprintSampleData#netbo...
I've been focusing on kernel work this cycle, so I don't know if the memory footprint work has been moving forward.
Steve may know who's involved now.
