Hi, is there a way to create a TINY image from Firefox OS similar to that of TINY ANDROID image which is used for Kernel Development. Android gives an option to create with the flag BUILD_TINY_ANDROID, just wanted to know if there is anything similar in Firefox OS.

If there is no support from B2G, can we still create one?

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks

Thanks Tanner, had a chat with b2g developers and found that there is no as such support for TINY image creation for Firefox OS. But the other thing is that they have the same core build system as Android so it should be pretty much the same with some kernel patches which might be required.

I'm not sure that anybody here would know the answer to this. I'd suggest asking in #b2g on irc.mozilla.org. In case you don't have an IRC client, here's a web-based one: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.mozilla.org/#b2g . A lot of the b2g developers tend to hang out in there, and if anybody knows, they would.
