Thanks for commenting. My intent is to give by default a reasonable time for the end-user to react and break the boot-sequence if needed (and avoid the nasty racing against the clock for this precious key-press). My motivation for this is that I see RIoTboard/MarsBoard mostly as boards that people can use for experimentation/prototyping, and not as a finished end-product, thus my thinking that the slightly increased boot-time won't be a critical issue for such applications. Still everyone can change the delay at will if they want to optimize the boot. Other hobby boards also have similarly handy boot-timings, like Wandboard (5s), Novena (5s), Udoo (3s). Kind regards, Nikolay
