Hi, Thanks guys for your advices, I applied few of them and I save a lot of time, I'm at 3.9 seconds now. I'll also apply the deferred init calls concept later.
I have two other questions. I'm not sure to understand how to use EDMA to copy from NOR to RAM in uboot. Every post that I found it is never explain the procedure to apply this patch. Do you guys have a piece of code or something to get started with that? In the same way, after the kernel boot, I have to start an application with QT and it takes 10 seconds to transfert QT lib (libQtCore, libQtGui, libQtNetwork, fonts) from NOR to RAM and start the application. QT stuff is ~20MB, I removed every useless lib to reduce the amount of data to transfert. I also optimised the EMIFA CS2 (I changed EMIFA clock to 150 Mhz and changed CS timing to be at the maximum of my NOR). I probed the NOR chip select and there are big delays between read access. I suppose that is because it is not using EDMA and the CPU is not able to feed the NOR... I would like to reduce this transfert time to ~4 secondes or less and I think that EDMA could maybe help to do it. Do you have any idea how to apply it, or any other ideas? Thanks for your time.
