In this paper, we propose a method of embedded linux light-weight to improve efficiency of application running on embedded systems. Three methods including fast booting scheme applying the Hibernation technique, JFFS2 file system optimization applying the Symbolic Link and virtual address mapping, kernel light-weight that guarantees the general purpose was applied. Since then check the system dependency and generate kernel image according to the target embedded kit. And embedded system performance of existing linux and linux which the method proposed in this paper was compared. In experimental result, the kernel size was 9.6% improved and the system booting time was 18% improved. And application processing speed on target embedded kit was improved 11% in the best case, 66% in the worst case. This result show that the light-weight method proposed in this paper is guarantee fast booting time and securing resources and it is good for the application processing speed improvement.
