Reduce bootloader binary size

[elsalahy]

Summary:

We can reduce bootloader compiled binary size to allow for a bigger application.

Why do we need this?

To allow for a bigger application and reduce bootloader overhead as we add more features.

What is already there? What do you see now?

A debug compiled binary that is around 40K

What is missing? What do you want to see?

A smaller size binary around 20K.

How do you propose to implement this?

• Compile bootloader using release flags and optimization flags
• Remove UART printing
• Test bootloader behavior
• Analyse bootloader libs and remove unused ones
• Ensure similar behavior to the debug variant

Environment:

Baremetal

Acceptance Criteria:

• Acceptable bootloader behavior after opretimzation

What can you do yourself and what do you need help with?
