From f54ac98f8cec676761e5144ae06640b8007b4b04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Hainke Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2022 18:59:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ath79: add low_mem to tiny image Devices with SMALL_FLASH enabled have "SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE=1024" in their config. This significantly increases the cache memory required by squashfs [0]. This commit enables low_mem leading to a much better performance because the SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE is reduced to 256. Example Nanostation M5 (XM): The image size increases by 128 KiB. However, the memory statisitcs look much better: Default tiny build: ------ MemTotal: 26020 kB MemFree: 5648 kB MemAvailable: 6112 kB Buffers: 0 kB Cached: 3044 kB low_mem enabled: ----- MemTotal: 26976 kB MemFree: 6748 kB MemAvailable: 11504 kB Buffers: 0 kB Cached: 7204 kB [0] - https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/7e8af99cf504ca1dc389f282a0c94f4a911571be Signed-off-by: Nick Hainke --- target/linux/ath79/tiny/target.mk | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/target/linux/ath79/tiny/target.mk b/target/linux/ath79/tiny/target.mk index 91f135b56e..28e02f7a67 100644 --- a/target/linux/ath79/tiny/target.mk +++ b/target/linux/ath79/tiny/target.mk @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ BOARDNAME:=Devices with small flash -FEATURES += small_flash +FEATURES += low_mem small_flash DEFAULT_PACKAGES += wpad-basic-wolfssl -- 2.30.2
