Hi Konrad, Actually my current image size is 3.9GB because of heavy size packages required by my project and without project required packages my image size in Yocto is 800MB.
I want to reduce the image size as maximum as possible. Thanks a lot in advance, Ajam Ali ________________________________ From: Konrad Weihmann <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2020 7:38 PM To: Ajam Ali <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [yocto] Fw: Reducing rootfs size in yocto [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender.] Pretty general questions, but I try to answer your question. I don't know what the purpose of your image is, but installing development tools like boost-dev or gcc (I guess that is what you mean with cpp) makes your image automatically a lot bigger, I would suggest to put devtools into a SDK, which could be shipped separately. Next thing you can do is to analyze the what is actually so big in your image, e.g. by creating a tar.gz of the image, unpacking it and browsing by 'du -sh *'. You can get the package/recipe to a file by using 'oe-pkgdata-util find-path <path>'. In the identified recipe you can look for PACKAGECONFIG or OE_EXTRACONF switches that you don't need and disable them. As said, I don't know what the purpose/environment of your image will be like, but you could also consider to use a different fs-format like squash. In general if you want small images preferring musl over glibc and systemV over systemd is something that you could consider as well. TL;DR 1) move to SDK 2) check PACKAGECONFIG switches 3) same as 2 or consider something "smaller" like lxc 4) same as 2 5) same as 2 6) same as 2 7) move to SDK 8) same as 2 On 28.03.20 14:25, Ajam Ali wrote: ________________________________ Hi All, I am trying to reduce the image size. how can i reduce the size of following packages so that i could get a small image size after integrating these packages in yocto? 1) boost-dev 2) docker 3) containerd-opencontainers 4) nodejs 5) nodejs-npm 6) python3-numpy 7) cpp 8) postgresql Thanks in advance, Ajam Ali ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
