2024 firmware too bloated for sbRIO

[Mads]

Michael, the command:

opkg remove gcc gcc-dev gcc-symlinks cpp kernel-dev kernel-devsrc libgcc-s-dev shared-mime-info binutils binutils-dev *ncurses* libfmi-dev libbfd bison-dev bison flex-dev flex-libf1 flex libstdc++-dev *perl* libmpc3 libmpfr4 --force-remove --nodeps

seems to have quite a different effect if nisyscmd is installed or not...If it is not installed this line does not remove much and it does not affect the RIO server on the device...However, if it is installed, it seems to remove a lot more and causes the RIO server to not run anymore...

I have tested thiw twice now...Is there a good explanation for it? I like that it removes a lot more...but I do not want to lose the RIO server 😮

Any news on a better solution for this whole issue with the basic image being too large for some RIOs by the way?

Is DKMS still installed?  We found that newer versions of DKMS remove all dkms installed drivers when they are uninstalled.  Previously I think had recommended removing DKMS.  I don't see it in your list of things to uninstall though so that might not be the case.  What software stack are you using?

Related to the overall issue, I do know there is some work being done related to improving the disk compression used on the targets with smaller disks.  I don't expect it to fully solve this problem though.
