hi,all: I compiled u-boot for marvell db88f5181 board,and u-boot.bin is 449kb,it too big for porting. I want to cut u-boot,but after i cut some u-boot commands via cutting *.o files under u-boot*/common/Makefile, then make u-boot, but u-boot.bin size still be 449kb? why?

 What's the best way to cut u-boot?

Hi, in our board config header file, we have defined CFG_MONITOR_LEN - which ends up being the final size of the u-boot.bin file.

From the README :

CFG_MONITOR_LEN: Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate flash sector.
