Take a look here:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=fast_boot_example&s[]=fastboot
This page also include config files.
It's not a big deal getting below 1MB.

i'm fairly certain you're quoting the size wrong. i *highly* doubt your kernel image is 3.5 gigabytes.
at any rate, read the FAQ (My uImage is too large to burn in my flash):

I think that the poster was referring to the size of the complete uClinux distribution uncompressed, and its space on disk... and not the kernel image

i didnt think the dist was that big (yet)
there is no document on how to trim it done ... just `rm` the directories you dont want
or even simpler: just buy a bigger hard drive

Hi, I do as below:
1. in user dir , del no used application source code. only remabin busybox & some other app u needed. The user dir is very large.
2. Del some cpu support source code(bus the dir & config file must remain for make menuconfig). The related dir:
vendors
config
linux-2.6.x/arch
3. Del no used lib in dir lib
4. Del some no nused drivers file in drivers
Now my dist package is 357MByte. It's can be smaller.
BR!
