Hi All In addition to my previous post.(Can't seem to edit my original post)
The onboard Flash disk has been erased and I am booting on a uSD. Running systemd-analyze blame shows these two very high numbers. 56.5 s generic-board-startup.service 54.3 s dev-mmcblk0p1.device Using the board in the application with no cape's.
