There is nothing special regarding to i.MX. I can provide you some common recomendations.

1. Linux kernel.

You can remove all unnessesary options and modules from the kernel.

For example if you do not need ethernet you can compile the kernel without its support.

2. OS.

You can remove all unnessesary services from startup.

3. hardware.

You can attach some effective radiator to the processor and set maximum frequencies.

Have a great day,

Victor

Hi Senthil

Which BSP you are using?

There is configuration file in the kernel ,which is used to enable and disable feature in kernel.

check kernel_imx/arch/arm/configs/imx_v7_defconfig

Thanks
