Gábor- I’d like your thoughts (and others’) on my proposed patch at
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8781 Currently, the WNDR3700 images reserve 1MB for the kernel, whether or not the kernel is actually anywhere near that size. It can be smaller, in which case space is wasted, or it can in theory be larger, in which case a broken image would be produced. Given that a 64kB block size is in use, I find that my kernels fit neatly in 832kB, which frees up 192kB of flash for other purposes. That’s a decent improvement on a system that might have as little as 8MB of flash. I realize that this approach can apply to more than just the WNDR3700. Certainly it’d work for some other members of the ar71xx family, and probably other targets as well. I haven’t tried to solve the problem in a more generic way yet. Do you think that this is something worth pursuing (or checking in as-is and iterating on) or am I doomed to continue carrying this as a local patch? _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
