[Verse 1] Default kernel ships with bloatware dreams USB drivers for ports you'll never see Filesystems stacked like tower schemes When your microcontroller begs to breathe Configuration menus scroll for days Every driver screaming "pick me please" But your target board just needs the base Strip the excess, find your sweet release [Chorus] Cut the fat and carve it lean Make config says what you mean Disable what you'll never touch Memory footprint shrinks so much Arch-specific flags align Tune the build for your design Kernel slim and kernel tight Embedded systems done right [Verse 2] Cross-compiler knows your ARM cortex Optimize for cache and pipeline flow Generic builds create bottlenecks Target-tuned makes silicon glow Module loading eats up RAM Static linking locks it down Every kilobyte's a gram When your bootloader wears the crown [Chorus] Cut the fat and carve it lean Make config says what you mean Disable what you'll never touch Memory footprint shrinks so much Arch-specific flags align Tune the build for your design Kernel slim and kernel tight Embedded systems done right [Bridge] Profiling shows what really runs Debug symbols weigh a ton Production builds shed every byte Boot time drops from minutes to seconds bright Custom patches merge with care Upstream changes everywhere Version pinning keeps it stable Performance myths become enable [Verse 3] Networking stack or bare metal path Device tree describes your board Calculate your memory math Every feature costs record Power management might drain more Than the circuits it protects Less is more when space keeps score Minimal kernel genuflects [Chorus] Cut the fat and carve it lean Make config says what you mean Disable what you'll never touch Memory footprint shrinks so much Arch-specific flags align Tune the build for your design Kernel slim and kernel tight Embedded systems done right [Outro] From megabytes down to k Embedded kernel finds its way Optimized and crystallized Efficiency maximized
