 | Minimal footprint | 
 | ################# | 
 |  | 
 | Overview | 
 | ******** | 
 |  | 
 | This sample provides an empty ``main()`` and various configuration files that | 
 | can be used to measure Zephyr's minimal ROM footprint in different | 
 | configurations. | 
 |  | 
 | The following configuration files are available: | 
 |  | 
 | * :file:`mt.conf`: Enable multithreading | 
 | * :file:`no-mt.conf`: Disable multithreading | 
 | * :file:`no-preempt.conf`: Disable preemption | 
 | * :file:`no-timers.conf`: Disable timers | 
 | * :file:`arm.conf`: Arm-specific disabling of features | 
 |  | 
 | Building and measuring ROM size | 
 | ******************************* | 
 |  | 
 | The following combinations are suggested for comparing ROM sizes in different | 
 | configurations. They all target the :ref:`reel_board` (Arm Aarch32 architecture). | 
 |  | 
 | * Multithreading enabled | 
 |  | 
 |   * Reference ROM size: 7-8KB |
