Hi, I m using the u-boot for am arm-926ejs based architechture.In my board I only have a nand flash of 32 MB and my system support the automatic reading the bootloader to RAM from NAND and jump to that location in memeory.But it support only 16KB of bootloader.So I want to minimize the size of my bootloader to around 16Kb.I want only the support of Nand flash and the jffs2 file system support.I do not even want the consol support.Can any one please tell me how to reduced the size of u-boot image.
Thanks

16KB is large enough to install an "Initial Program Loader" which serves the task of loading a more feature full bootloader or the OS itself but not much more than that. Search the U-Boot mailing archives for arguments against reducing the size of U-Boot, it's been asked many times before. Besides, most vedors provide NAND flash IPL source code which does what you want already. So why bother trying to gut U-Boot to bare essentials when your vendor probably already supplies that code?
