Honored ContributorGenerating compressed kernel image
I tried "make zImage" and looks like the kernel itself does not have source to do this.
Is there any method by which I can generate compressed kernel image. I am getting 2 MB image which is too big. I have chosen least kernel feature. Can any 1 help me generating compressed kernel image. I am using U-Boot and ep1c20 - altera eval board.3 Replies

Hi shakthi,

If you're using u-boot, just gzip the kernel binary: $ gzip --best vmlinux.bin >> vmlinux.gz Then use the compressed binary as the input when you run mkimage.
