i have sync and build the android 13 for "imx8 quad x plus" bord.
after build successfully i have check the size of OS as following :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# Navigate to the directory
cd /home/lenovo/AOSP/android_build/out/target/product/mek_8q

# Calculate the total size of all .img files
total_size=$(du -ch *.img | grep total | awk '{print $1}')

echo "Total size of the OS: $total_size"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it gives the output "Total size of the OS: 2.2GB"

now i want to reduce the size of OS and the the boot time how to do it ?
