二进制大小分析

The bloaty_compare_master build target allows you to get a better understanding of the impact of changes on code size. When it is used, the toolchain downloads the latest successful master build of a particular firmware and compares it to the local build (using the bloaty size profiler for binaries).

TIP

This can help analyse changes that (may) cause px4_fmu-v2_default to hit the 1MB flash limit.

Bloaty must be in your path and found at cmake configure time. The PX4 docker files install bloaty as shown:

sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/google/bloaty.git /tmp/bloaty \
	&& cd /tmp/bloaty && cmake -GNinja . && ninja bloaty && cp bloaty /usr/local/bin/ \
	&& rm -rf /tmp/*

The example below shows how you might see the impact of removing the mpu9250 driver from px4_fmu-v2_default. First it locally sets up a build without the driver:

sh
 % git diff
diff --git a/boards/px4/fmu-v2/default.px4board b/boards/px4/fmu-v2/default.px4board
index 40d7778..2ce7972 100644
--- a/boards/px4/fmu-v2/default.px4board

+               CONFIG_DRIVERS_IMU_INVENSENSE_MPU9250=n

Then use the make target, specifying the target build to compare (px4_fmu-v2_default in this case):

sh
% make px4_fmu-v2_default bloaty_compare_master

This shows that removing mpu9250 from px4_fmu-v2_default would save 10.3 kB of flash. It also shows the sizes of different pieces of the mpu9250 driver.
