Hi,
I would like to know how I can reduce the boot time of my Beaglebone.
The startup takes about 1 minute and half, than the card is ready.
I need to have a boot time of around 30 seconds or lower.
Here are some screenshots about system information:
The system starts from a micro SD card, and the main program uses gpio, i2c Bus, Spi Bus and the PRUs
First booting from eMMC is going to be much faster than an SD card.
eMMC has an 8 bit data bus and SD-card only 4 bits. Also the clock on the eMMC runs at around 200Mhz I think where as the SD card clock speed is 50Mhz, so much faster overall.
After that you will need to see where the bottlenecks are.
You can manually look through the output of dmesg after booting, or there is a perl script in the kernel source code in linux/scripts called bootgraph.pl
You can use this to generate a nice kernel boot graph.
You need to add a couple of options to the parameters passed to the kernel from u-boot. These are mentioned in the script.
For the fastest boot you will probable need to build your own kernel.
Disable all hardware that is not needed. Where possible compile in drivers rather than make them loadable modules.
Next you will need to optimise the systemd startup.
Run your code as soon as possible. This will depend on itās dependencies.
Unused services should be disabled.
Depending on what you are doing, you may want to play around with a complete OS custom build, but that will take time and a fair bit of work.
While systemd is nice in general, if you have very simple needs then good old fashioned sysvint may be a better choice.
@GiovanniMo grab a newer imageā¦ Specifically the minimal imageā¦
I spent a lot of time in Bullseye changing systemd/udev to make things more dynamic, instead of scripts that just waitā¦
Regards,
Thank you for your replies.
I am currently bound to this version of debian. I am not an expert about configurations in Linux environment, and on my system I am using both the PRUs and xenomai cobalt co-kernel.
I tried to use a different debian image but I had many problems with settings.
So, Iād like use this version and Iād like reduce the boot time.
After startup, with dmesg I see this report:
That looks like random is blocking due to not enough entropy. I seem to recall it is possible to save a random seed for later boots to help with this.
Try googling and you should find something.
Install haveged
sudo apt update
sudo apt install haveged
in /boot/uEnv.txt add rng_core to cmdlineā¦
rng_core.default_quality=100
Regards,
Good morning,
I did it and it looks like random doesnāt take much time anymore.
However, the boot is still too long, from dmesg I see that:

Hi to everyone,
I am trying to do another way. I installed a debian version 10.3 (console image) and Iām evaluate the speed of the startup.
At the moment I get a faster startup:
root@beaglebone:~# systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 9.992s (kernel) + 35.094s (userspace) = 45.087s
graphical.target reached after 34.868s in userspace
root@beaglebone:~# systemd-analyze blame
25.670s ifupdown-pre.service
16.224s dev-mmcblk0p1.device
3.525s systemd-udev-trigger.service
3.112s generic-board-startup.service
2.233s loadcpufreq.service
1.524s systemd-journald.service
1.160s systemd-timesyncd.service
1.029s connman.service
Just some questions:
1-What is āifupdown-pre.serviceā?
2-Why does it want all that time?
3-Why is āgeneric-board startupā as fast with this version?
I attach the plot of boot phase:
Please run, this script on the version of Debian you are bound too:
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh
and share itās output so we can better explain what needs to be doneā¦
Regards,
Hi Robert, thanks for your time!
This is the output about Debian 10.3, that I have just installed on my BBG.

Iām using two different devices to compare the two system
Thanks! Iām now digging for that image on my NAS.
What are you allowed to change? Does the image have network access, can you run apt update/upgrade? git pull etc? Or is the image locked as is from the 2018-03-05 build date? so you can only enable/disable scripts?
Before i take a look at this fully, i just want to know your rulesā¦
Edit, found my archiveā¦ which version of stretch was this?
2018-03-05$ ls
buster-iot stretch-console stretch-iot stretch-lxqt stretch-lxqt-2gb stretch-lxqt-xm stretch-machinekit stretch-oemflasher
Regards,
Okay, had to tweak things a little bitā¦
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-image-4.4.113-ti-xenomai-r149
sudo apt install --only-upgrade nodejs
sudo apt install --only-upgrade bb-cape-overlays
###TO MATCH YOUR OLD VERSION>>>>
git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays ;
cd ./bb.org-overlays/ ;
git checkout 7e8a169d1985f77451ee54233d95e870ad9b011a -b tmp ;
make ;
sudo make install
But it matchesā¦ Or close enoughā¦

Goodmorning Robert,
I donāt know how I can thank you!
This is exactly what I needed, now booting takes about 30 seconds.
I havenāt disabled āgeneric-startup.serviceā as I could need a USB port, but the timing I got is perfect.
Networking.service still takes over 10 seconds, but overall itās ok.

Looks like you upgraded the bootloader in the process tooā¦
The factory default for that image, can be found hereā¦
/opt/backup/uboot/
sudo dd if=/opt/backup/uboot/MLO of=/dev/mmcblk0 count=2 seek=1 bs=128k

sudo dd if=/opt/backup/uboot/u-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 count=4 seek=1 bs=384k
Thatāll restore it to 2018-03-05ās versionā¦
Next double check your overlays, this should match your older versionā¦

Thank you Robert,
now it works and it is faster!
I have some questions. Iād like to know more about this system since I have to use beaglebone and debian for this project. At the moment, I have no idea what I did and without your help I would never gotten this result.
So, can you recommand me some manuals to improve my knowledge about this world?
Regarding the procedure I followed, I noticed an important improvement when I updated this bb-wl18xx-firmware package. What is that?
Why when I updated the booloader, I had a problem with the pin configuration? What is the connection between them?
I have a thousand questions, but I canāt write them all and you canāt answer all of them. So I would like to know where can I start? I am developing a multithreaded application and need to have real time behavior in certain cases so I have chosen to use xenomai. Are there any alternatives?
If I want to not be bound by this version of debian and update the system what do I need to know?
Better detection of which device got bootedā¦ In the case of the BeagleBone Green, it just disabled it self correctlyā¦ (To not run.)
Your requirements of 2018-03-05 and 4.4.113-ti-xenomai-r149, shipped with something that worked, but turned out to be over complicated and we figured out a better solution around 4.14.x time-frameā¦
Your 4.4.x does this on bootup, when set for 2018-03-05

Which takes am335x-boneblack-uboot.dtb and addās univ-bbb-xxx-00A0.dtbo on top of it to create the cape-universal pins. But it only works if you donāt load any other overlays.
Today, ācape-universalā is built into the base *.dtb and every overlay disables pins it usesā¦
So, since your on 4.4.x and using univ-bbb-xxx-00A0.dtbo, donāt update u-boot or bb.org-overlays beyond what it shipped withā¦
Newer versions of u-boot assume 4.14.x and the whole univ-bbb-xxx-00A0.dtbo was ripped out as it was a complex if/else messā¦
Regards,
Xenomai has a fun abi, since your on 4.4.113-ti-xenomai, anything you build for 4.4.113-ti-xenomai is stuck on thereā¦ Xenomai broke things on 4.9.x and then on 4.14.xā¦ to the point i donāt bother to build it anymoreā¦ Unless your a full time Xenomai developer, itās a pain in the rearā¦
Just use normal RTā¦
First, what are your actual requirements in the systemā¦ Xenomai, RT or ānormalāā¦ Then what are you actually using??? (usart/can/etcā¦)ā¦
Our two supported branches are 4.19.x-ti based Buster, and 5.10.x-ti based Bullseyeā¦ Buster is pretty frozenā¦ Where-as Bullseye will see a major upgrade, 5.10.x-ti ā 6.0/6.1 in itās lifetime for us over this next year.
Monthy snapshots of both of these are located hereā¦

Thanks for your answer Robert.
I need to develop a controller. The BBG is integrated into a larger electronic board and I use it to manage the system.
I am currently using Analogic Input, GPIO, Uart and I2C bus.
Up to now I have no particular requirements, it is a normal system, but I need to have a behavior in real time when I exchange data with PRU: with the Arm I fill a buffer, and the PRUs empty it, with a fixed frequency,. During this operation, the PRUs must never run out of data. To make sure this happens, I am now using Xenomai, because without it there are the problems with timing.
Also, I need to consider the using of SPI channel, and the PRUs eQEP function.
