  2. How to reduce footprint and size of applications in Zephyr

Re: How to reduce footprint and size of applications in Zephyr

Hi Thiago,

Thank you so much for the reply. I am running Zephyr on Linux and building the hello_world app on ARM using qemu_cortex_m3. 

I've got the numbers from the following:
  • The 8MB of memory is measured using the system monitor

    Inline images 2
  • The 3.8MB is seen by clicking properties of the folder created after building the hello_world app. I am assuming that the folder in ../outdir/BOARD will be the folder that is going to be installed on the board itself. Am I understanding this correctly? 

    Inline images 3
I'm not sure if those are the right numbers to get, sorry if this is a stupid question. 


Also, may I know what these numbers from' make ram_report' and 'make rom_report' mean? 
  • ram_report

    Inline images 8
  • rom_report
    Inline images 9
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers,
Yie

Hi Yie,

That definitely isn't right. In which environment are you running Zephyr, and how are you measuring this?

Try 'make rom_report' and 'make ram_report' to get a nice report of how much each function is consuming.

Best regards,
Thiago

Hi,

I read that Zephyr allows small footprint of a few KBs. However, the sample hello world application already takes up 8MB of memory and has a size of 3.8MB. I am not sure if I am running this right.

I would appreciate if I can get any help on this or someone to point me at the right direction.

Cheers,
Yie
