Added the init_image.sh file to the / directory and modified it to remove the current and voltage monitoring portions, and to use my own file server for uploading the image. Added the init.sh file to the / directory and modified it so it uses my IP configuration.Ĥ. Replaced the existing /etc/fstab file with the one you providedģ. I replaced the existing cmdline.txt and config.txt files in the /boot directory with the files you supply in your GitHub repository (. I'm trying out your Arch Linux quick boot configuration on my Raspberry Pi Zero W, but a kernel panic occurs when I power on the Pi. Hey manawyrm, thanks for sharing all this great information! The zImage is currently compressed as gzip, which should be pretty fast, right?Īny ideas on (either) getting the time down, or reducing the current draw of the RPi are welcome.

Any recommendations on which features take especially long?

I'm still running the stock ArchLinux ARM kernel here, I should probably compile my own (much more lightweight) kernel. I'm not sure how much of this is down to the kernel itself, and how long the Raspberry Pi GPU init/bootloader stuff takes. raspistill and curl are run in parallel to this process and don't take much more time (about 5 seconds).Ĭurrently, about 3-4 seconds are spent before the kernel is run. My init-script replaces the systemd-init, directly disables HDMI, mounts some partitions and runs wpa_supplicant to the WiFi up and running.
