Talk:Fast Boot

I have played with things like uboot and lzma compression for embedded routers recently. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to shrink the basics of the firmware enormously. To a predefined set of functionalities. Bootup time of 2 secs is nice. But what can one expect after 2 seconds? --Skinkie 22:42, 28 December 2008 (CST)

I do not believe 2s to boot GNU/Linux is possible with this hardware. To be useful as network camera we have at least to load minimal kernel with network support, elphel drivers, flash the FPGA firmware and configure the sensor, configure the network and start all network services. Then we can continue to load usb device drivers , ... But I do not think 2 or 10s is possible. --Alexandre.Poltorak 09:02, 30 December 2008 (CST)
