I let it boot 5 times. Used the stopwatch on the last 2 boots: T 000:00:16.143 T 000:01:20.498 So if it's a watchdog timer, it's a pretty variable one (?). The third boot also felt like at least a minute. I've attached the boot log. > I had a vendor do this to me once: they changed the board and connected > (on the board) and started enabling a watchdog and did not tell me -- > one week before an exhibit.
