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
