Full external flash memory

Hello,

my name is Ana Belen Lopez and I am trying to add some more features to the kernel of the Nios II processor. When I have run the Linux I have received a message of kernel panic. The problem is there is no more external flash memory available, where the files are uploaded and stored. Do you know how I can erase files to obtain enough space to execute programs?

Thank you very much.

Ana.

    Hi Ana,

    > Do you know how I can erase files to obtain enough space to execute programs?

    You can trim things from your filesystem project directly. Or you might want to

    try a different filesystem that has some compression capabilities like cramfs or jffs2.
