1. 介绍
Xilinx VCU TRD 集成了图像和视频编解码功能，生成的根文件系统比较大，2020.1的rootfs.cpio.gz大约有114MB。工程师可以根据自己需要裁剪，减少根文件系统大小。
在Ubuntu下，解压rootfs.cpio.gz，得到rootfs.cpio，再解压，得到就是文件了。
2. 检查目录大小
使用du命令，可以检查各个文件夹的大小。
rootfs@rootfs$ du --max-depth=1 -h
4.0K ./run
8.5M ./lib
20K ./home
4.0K ./boot
4.0K ./tmp
4.0K ./sys
2.9M ./bin
4.0K ./mnt
312M ./usr
112K ./var
2.8M ./opt
2.0M ./etc
8.0K ./media
4.0K ./dev
4.0K ./proc
2.0M ./sbin
330M
也可以看更深的目录，排除占用空间小的目录。
rootfs@rootfs$ du --max-depth=2 -h | grep [0-9]M
3.1M ./lib/modules
8.5M ./lib
2.9M ./bin
206M ./usr/lib
22M ./usr/bin
1.3M ./usr/libexec
80M ./usr/share
3.8M ./usr/sbin
312M ./usr
2.8M ./opt/vcu_qt
2.8M ./opt
2.0M ./etc
2.0M ./sbin
330M .
rootfs$ du --max-depth=2 -h | grep [0-9]M
5.9M ./lib
2.9M ./bin
18M ./usr/lib
5.1M ./usr/bin
6.2M ./usr/share
3.3M ./usr/sbin
33M ./usr
2.0M ./sbin
45M .
3. 检查文件大小
目录大小有助于粗略的分析根文件系统大小。要找到真正的原因，并找到减小根文件系统大小，需要分析文件大小。
使用find命令，找到文件，再使用ls命令，查看文件大小；最后使用grep命令过滤出大文件。
rootfs$ find | xargs -n 1 ls -l -h | grep [0-9]M

4. 去掉不必要文件。
根据上述找到的大文件，禁止不使用的软件包，就能减小根文件系统大小。
比如，在petalinux工程中，禁止下列软件包后，rootfs.cpio.gz从114MB，减小到16.4MB。下列内容是从project-spec/configs/rootfs_config提取的。
# CONFIG_gdb is not set
# CONFIG_gdbserver is not set
# CONFIG_kernel-module-hdmi is not set
# CONFIG_packagegroup-core-x11 is not set
# CONFIG_packagegroup-petalinux-audio is not set
# CONFIG_packagegroup-petalinux-gstreamer is not set
# CONFIG_packagegroup-petalinux-matchbox is not set
# CONFIG_packagegroup-petalinux-qt is not set
# packagegroup-petalinux-v4lutils
# CONFIG_packagegroup-petalinux-v4lutils is not set
# CONFIG_packagegroup-petalinux-x11 is not set
# CONFIG_trd-init is not set
# CONFIG_vcu-gst-app is not set
# CONFIG_custom-edid is not set
# CONFIG_gst-shark is not set
# CONFIG_gstreamer-vcu-examples is not set
# CONFIG_vcu-qt is not set
