Just a quick note to say thanks for all the help in getting my Linux runtime
below a 1Mb upload size and a 4Mb runtime size. I've now got it down to a
runtime footprint of 3Mb and an upload package size of 869Kbytes :) That
includes the basic Kernel (2.4.0-test9), networking support, dynamic glibc
(2.1.2) and glibm (2.1.2).
All I can say is that 'strip --strip-unneeded' really is your friend. I'll
also be trying to employ the techniques used in sglibc over the next month
or so to cram it down even more.
Also just to clear up some confusion. The problem isn't that each package
we upload has to be less than 1Mb. We have a fully error
detecting/correcting stop and wait bootloader protocol running across the RF
link. So we can have as much interference, fading and losses of contact as
we want and the package will still eventually be uploaded correctly. We
simply don't want to spend more than a day doing the upload, and a day worth
of RF link works out at about a Mb.
Cheers,
Richard
