Subject: Kernel Start-up Time
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:10:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201001181010.01975.caglarakyuz@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
While measuring Linux start-up time, I see that printing version string in
"start_kernel" takes ~1.3 seconds. I guess this is the time between from
"bootloader jumping to uImage" and "printing version string in generic
start_kernel code". Relevant part of my boot log is attached.
My question: is it normal this 1.3 sec init time? My system is 297 MHZ
arm926ej-s with a 162MHZ DDR2 memory.
Sorry for my ignorance but I'm not good at ARM assembly, so I'm unable to
bench early boot.
Thanks,
Caglar
