I have a bootloader limited to 32K Bytes, when the DES is added (about 6384 Bytes), it exceeds the limit. So anybody know any DES implementation in ARM assembler as small as possible?
thanks!

Why do you need this in the bootloader ? You want to crypt/trust your main software ?
Anyway, one solution might be to add a lightweight decompressor, and compress a part of your bootloader code, and uncompress at runtime.
Adding more software to the blob might sound strange, but you should evaluate this option.
On this page, they claim to have a very small decompressor, which fit in 200 bytes of code. I guess they mean i386 code, but it looks quite small anyway.
