  • Development tool for footprint reduction
    Patent number: 9542170
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing a memory footprint of an embedded system. The method may include analyzing packages installed in a root file system of the embedded system, and determining which package components are not required for the operation of the embedded system. The method further includes reducing a memory footprint of the embedded system based on the above determination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 12, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2017
    Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.
    Inventors: Clark Williams, Brendan Conoboy
  • Optimization utility for developing embedded systems
    Patent number: 9244672
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing the development of an embedded system for a target device. The method may include selecting a set of packages corresponding to the class of an embedded system from various packages available for installation, and integrating the set of packages into a root file system. The method may further include receiving user input identifying at least one application to be used with the embedded system, integrating packages associated with the identified application into the root file system, and loading an image of the root file system to the target device.
    Type: Grant

  • Utility for optimizing required memory for distribution in embedded systems
    Patent number: 8161471
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing required memory of an embedded system. The method may include identifying one or more applications to be installed on a target embedded system, and estimating the amount of memory required for the operation of the embedded system. The method may further include comparing the estimated amount of the required memory with the amount of memory available on the embedded system.
