Polarfire Icicle board has only (128K - 256) bytes for the bootloader in the non-volatile eNVM. This space is barely enough for running NuttX. If OpenSBI is selected, it will be placed in DDR. This all means the nuttx.bin file grows into gigabyte size, filling the unused space (ddr - envm) with zeroes. The memory layout is as follows: MEMORY { ddr (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x80000000, LENGTH = 4M envm (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x20220100, LENGTH = 128K - 256 l2lim (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 1024k l2zerodevice (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x0A000000, LENGTH = 512k } OpenSBI library is used as a separate binary, which is stored into eMMC or SD-card. It is then loaded into its precise location in DDR. Thus, we separate OpenSBI from NuttX and end up with two images by utilizing the objcopy options: --only-section=sectionpattern (-j in short) --remove-section=sectionpattern (-R in short) This is only valid when CONFIG_MPFS_OPENSBI is set.
