Description

Hello.

I have successfully booted Linux on my FPGA.

After booting, there is no compiler in the root file system.
So, I want to put the compiler in the root filesystem.
When I added the compiler to the root file system, the size of the image file was 188 Mbytes.
(Original size : 4Mbyte)
Is it possible to boot this size too?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the root filesystem and boot image are built, then determine where riscv-gnu-toolchain is added and how the resulting image size is handled. Check whether the FPGA boot path supports the reported 188 Mbyte image; done means a documented, working way to include the compiler or a clear limitation.
