how to reduce the size of nios soft core?

SOPC builder compiles some files automatically, such as pio_lcd16207.c, but i don't want to include this file and it isn't used, either. I want to cut this file to save LEs of FPGA after...

I didn't use the LCD core. I don't have the dev board. I think the pio_lcd16207.c file is generated for the dev

board and the germs_monitor.c's fucntion is the same. I have the idea to reduce nios soft core because I

see the following info when generating system:

# 2004.08.12.22:41:12 --- Compiling nios_uart.c

# 2004.08.12.22:41:12 --- Assembling nios_zerorange.s

# 2004.08.12.22:41:12 --- Compiling pio_lcd16207.c

# 2004.08.12.22:41:12 --- Assembling pio_showhex.s

# 2004.08.12.22:41:12 --- Compiling plugs.c

Above is a part of the info. And also I don't want to compile the nios_uart.c file because I don't use the UART

now. Is that clear? Maybe Jesse got it, but he answered about the nios II. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

thank you.
