[U-Boot-Users] re ducing size of u-boot binary

Hi,
If u want to reduce the size via disable the command means see the
file include/cmd_confdefs.h. Add the command which u want disable in the macro CFG_CMD_NONSTD.
(Please Correct me if i am wrong)

Thanks and Regards
Sivaji

How big is your binary, why do you need to reduce its size? I ask because most of the time this question is the result of a link gone bad where part of the linked binary lives in low memory space and part lives in high memory space. As a result, the .bin has a huge amount of filled (unused) data between the two.
