+### Minimal build for ONNX dialect only
+
+For consumers that only need the ONNX dialect (without lowering passes, runtime, or non-essential dialects), configure with:
+
+```
+cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja \
+  -DMLIR_DIR=/path/to/llvm-project/build/lib/cmake/mlir \
+  -DONNX_MLIR_ENABLE_ONLY_ONNX_DIALECT=ON \
+  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+
+cmake --build build --target test-onnx-to-mlir -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+This builds only the following components:
+- `include/`
+- `src/Interface/` (only interfaces required by ONNX)
+- `src/Support/`
+- `src/Builder/`
+- `src/Dialect/Mlir/`
+- `src/Dialect/ONNX/`
+
+And provides a small test executable `test-onnx-to-mlir` that loads an ONNX model and prints ONNX dialect IR:
+
+```
+build/Release/bin/test-onnx-to-mlir model.onnx > model.mlir
+```
+
+Notes:
+- Release builds are recommended to reduce memory usage during compilation.
+- SpecializedKernel and Krnl dependencies are excluded in this mode.

+## Minimal ONNX dialect build
+
+This document describes how to build a minimal subset of ONNX-MLIR that exposes only the ONNX dialect and the minimal helpers required to parse ONNX models and produce ONNX dialect MLIR.
+
+### Rationale
+
+Some projects want to import the ONNX dialect IR without bringing the full onnx-mlir stack (lowering passes, Krnl dialect, runtime). The CMake option `ONNX_MLIR_ENABLE_ONLY_ONNX_DIALECT` enables such a build.
+
+### What gets built
+
+When `-DONNX_MLIR_ENABLE_ONLY_ONNX_DIALECT=ON` is set, the following subdirectories are included:
+
+- `include/`
+- `src/Interface/` (ShapeInference, ResultTypeInference, HasOnnxSubgraph, ShapeHelper)
+- `src/Support/`
+- `src/Builder/` (for `ImportFrontendModelFile` and builders)
+- `src/Dialect/Mlir/` (utility builders only; no Krnl or Compiler dependencies)
+- `src/Dialect/ONNX/`
+
+In addition, a small utility `test-onnx-to-mlir` is built to load an ONNX model and print the ONNX dialect IR.
+
+### Configure and build
+
+```
+cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja \
+  -DMLIR_DIR=/path/to/llvm-project/build/lib/cmake/mlir \
+  -DONNX_MLIR_ENABLE_ONLY_ONNX_DIALECT=ON \
+  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+
+cmake --build build --target test-onnx-to-mlir -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+Release builds are recommended to lower memory usage during compilation.
+
+### Using the test helper
+
+```
+build/Release/bin/test-onnx-to-mlir /path/to/model.onnx > model.mlir
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+- Krnl and Compiler modules are excluded.
+- SpecializedKernel interface is excluded.
+- The minimal build still requires the upstream LLVM/MLIR toolchain and ONNX protobuf.
