[IMX8ULPEVK] Decreasing Yocto Linux boot time

Hello all, 

 

I am using the IMX8ULP-EVK board for an embedded solution, where I need the boot time for linux to be very low (shooting for ~2 seconds), my application will involve booting the machine, doing meaningful work, and then turning off in a periodic cycle to decrease power consumption.

I am using Yocto Linux 6.6.23_2.0.0, and with the `core-image-minimal-dev` image, I am being taken to user login after about 12 seconds. Are there any guides I can follow to decrease the boot time? Are there any better images I can use that are more suitable for my application?

I am currently working on removing features from the image, as well as cutting down the kernel features, however I fear this will not be enough (current 2 second kernel boot time and ~12 second systemd boot time). Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi @ksingh!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

 

At the moment we don´t have examples using the iMX8ULP EVK but you can refer to the AN14093  in that Application note we explain how to reduce the boot time in iMX8M.

 

Best Regards!
