This package is about 900K > IMO, there are better places to shave off size of minimal images > than > cutting out hardware support. > You realize that core-image-minimal goes from 8.7M -> 59M by adding the modules, so there is not other place to shave off size in the minimal image. 40M is in /lib 6.8M in /boot I think this is a case where the RefKit includes modules but it does not go into meta-intel, this is more of a Distro/Image level choice than a BSP level choice. So this is not a customer BSP in refkit. Sau! -- _______________________________________________ meta-intel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-intel
