Hello everyone,
I am very very very new to embedded linux. And i read gentoo
documentation about creating embedded linux. It gave me a very good
guide line and i am very much thankful of whole gentoo embedded team
for the same.
I have a project in which i have to create embedded linux on 64MB.
Gentoo embedded guideline gives me a very good start but it needs
around 1.5 to 2 GB memory. Unfortunately i don't have that much space.
Would you please guide me how to address this issue ???
I read about qemu-img command. If i use that command and create
an image of 64M then will it occupy only 64MB space on real flash or
it will extract itself to occupy more space??
I really appreciate your help in advance.
