Image size reduction

Image size reduction

[Ajam Ali]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1546 bytes --]

Hi All,

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.
Please suggest the best possible way so that I could reduce the maximum possible size(desirable below 1.5 GB).


Thanks in advance,
Ajam Ali

Add INHERIT += "buildhistory" to local.conf and then do a build

Start looking at the buildhistory folder especially the size file
images/<machine>/glibc/<image-name>/installed-package-sizes.txt

Hi khemraj,

Please suggest the way to reduce the image size. Your earlier suggestion is not that much helpful.

Thanks,

Actually suggestion to use buildhistory is the first critical step because without
this you can't easily see where the size comes from. buildhistory provides
for example the list of installed binary packages ordered by size for every image
built. Then it enables you to easily check the dependencies of variour packages
and detect, e.g. who brings perl or python to the image.

So your project adds 3.1GB right

3.1GB is huge. Compare to f.i. Libreoffice (installed 0.5GB or so).
Either your own code has a lot of fat, or you are pulling in lots of 
packages you don't really need. But is there no way to advise you 
without knowing more.

Ajam,


It would be useful if you could reply either way.


If there's still a problem then perhaps someone can help.


If you are able to resolve the issue, then a brief summary

of what you did could help the next person who has a similar

issue.

Hi Randy,

In my image most of the size is consumed by heavy size packages.
So i have given this task of image size reduction to application team.
If i will remove the dependencies then may be some feature get disabled which could be needed.
Till now i am able to remove only python3 from dependencies.







Thanks,
Ajam Ali
