While trying to reduce boot time, I realized that disabling cape-universal significantly reduces boot time. However when I disable it, CAN bus stops working and I get the following error when trying to enable it:
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo ip link set can1 up type can bitrate 500000 Cannot find device "can1"
Is it possible to use the CAN interface without cape-universal? How can I avoid unneeded hardware initialization to reduce boot time?
I am using the lxqt image, booting to multi-user target instead of the desktop. I also tried with IoT image but the Kernel itself takes 25 sec. to boot, not mentioning the userland. I believe the cape-universal is enabled there by default, too. Is cape-universal necessary to use the hardware like can bus, or is it possible to disable it? If so, how can I enable can1 without cape-universal?
Is there a place that we can track the changes made to the image? I already have configured my image and starting with a new image would take a long time.
I still do not understand why disabling cape-universal affects the operation of can1 overlay.. why do we have to wait hardware initialization that we wont use at all?
