Hello!
To address the increased boot time on your iMX6DL 512 module, there are several strategies you can employ to optimize the boot process:
-
eMMC Fast Boot Mode: Ensure that your module is configured to use the eMMC fast boot mode, which can significantly reduce boot time. This mode is supported by the iMX6 family and may require an updated U-Boot configuration.
-
Optimize U-Boot Configuration: Since you’ve already set the boot delay to 0, consider further optimizing U-Boot by:
- Disabling unnecessary U-Boot features and commands that are not required for your application.
- Ensuring that the bootcmd environment variable is optimized to load the kernel and root filesystem as efficiently as possible.
-
Kernel and Initramfs Optimization: Reduce the size of the kernel and initramfs by:
- Compiling a custom kernel with only the necessary drivers and features for your application.
- Minimizing the initramfs to include only essential components.
-
Service Management: Once the system is booted, disable any unnecessary services that may be starting up and consuming time during the boot process.
-
Parallelize Boot Processes: If possible, configure your system to parallelize boot processes, which can help in reducing the overall boot time.
By implementing these strategies, you should be able to achieve a more efficient boot process on your iMX6DL module. I hope this helps you optimize your system’s performance!
