when I set different size of initramfs in  /linux_prep/core/setup.c and  updater_ivt.bd ,The starting time is different as fellow.

size of initramfs is 3M ：

My board' DDR2 is mt47h32m16nf25e with 64MB .its power is 5v only

Hi jie

general approach may be removing unused modules (probably framebuffer,lcd,pwm,nand, e.t.c)

from mfg tools image, please refer to attached Linux Manual and User Guide sect.2.5 Building the

Manufacturing Firmware.

Best regards

igor

hi igorpadykov

  thank you

I hve removed almost all  unused modules as seventh.config in attach.but console output as follow,why the following two steps has always  long time.
