* Download Size: 64M * Download size with OMAP3 hwpack: 100M The current thoughts are to cut this image down as much as possible whilst still retaining the ability to boot to a command prompt. The new image would be a 'nano' image and would be useful for verifying that the hardware boots.
Yes, please :-)
Just for comparison, the current ALIP images, we would like to replace with Linaro in future, are "slightly" smaller:
http://www.arm.com/community/software-enablement/linux.php * Minimal ARMv5T cramfs (30 MB) - with debug symbols, no X11 or optional applications * Minimal ARMv6 cramfs (30 MB) - with debug symbols, no X11 or optional applications * Minimal ARMv7 Thumb-2 cramfs (30 MB) - compiled for Thumb-2 with NEON support * Full ARMv5T cramfs (49 MB) - with X11 and optional applications * Full ARMv6 cramfs (49 MB) - with X11 and optional applications * Full ARMv7 Thumb-2 cramfs (47 MB) - compiled for Thumb-2 with NEON support
the above sizes are with or without kernel? Anyone knows how compression of cramfs compares to tar.gz? e.g. can we compare those sizes directly to our gzipped tarballs?
