Thank you very much Robert for that heads up... wasn't aware Sitara architecture could do this as well... Q: How does falcon boot on Sitara compare with sub-one-second boottime on i.MX6? On Wednesday, November 19, 2014 12:54:18 PM UTC-5, RobertCNelson wrote:

Hi John, thanks for the heads up on that patch. When you say it doesn't work at this time, is it because it's temporarily broken for embedded? If it gets fixed, would you recommend this patch for our needs? Q1: Given several senior devs are reporting amazing 1s boot-time on i.MX6, should I

Hi Liyaoshi, thanks for reporting these incredible results!!! However your link appears broken, could you verify? Thanks man!! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltnedy59gv5i70j/VID_20140723_084207.mp4 This is what I have done in my iMX6 solo @800M 16bit ddr board -- For more options, visit

Hi all, many thanks for this insightful discussion. Q: Is systemd a viable option to optimize boot-time on ARM embedded platforms? (Given its steeper learning curve are the results worth the extra work / risk over 'init'?) On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 1:42 PM, Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak

Supercool. We're hoping to reduce boot-time by using open-source based solutions so following the latest systemd-based efforts appears as the next logical step. Thanks a bunch for that useful advice!! On Tuesday, November 11, 2014 10:07:19 AM UTC-5, RobertCNelson wrote: Then Lennart

Hi RH, Thank you for your valuable input. I'm glad to see awesome results like Laurent was posting validated by another user. 1.6s is still incredible and totally useful for what we're doing. Are these results reported from a stock BBB? Are your sequence of steps similar to Laurent? Thank

Hi Richard, thanks for those precisions... But what's your boot time? The last time I tested on older BB hardware felt around 12 sec +/- 1 sec. (Have to set it up again to get precise time via dmesg) Have to try this on BBB and I'm very encouraged to read about these sub-2 sec times!! FYI,

Hi Richard, thanks for pointing this out... we can probably make our own but its good to know this right away. Will continue to investigate... looks like 3 sec is reasonable to attain but getting closer to 1 going to require external help and some hard structural choices on our part... :)
