Minimal sample
##############

Overview
********

This sample defines An empty ``main()`` and a set of minimal configurations
that provide tests for the smallest ROM sizes possible with the Zephyr kernel.

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
*******************************

In order to compare ROM sizes with different minimal configurations, the
following combinations are suggested:

* Reel board (Arm architecture)

  * Multithreading enabled

    * Reference ROM size: 7-8KB
