Re: Question about faster Boot time for Beaglebone

[Billy Bogardus]

Have you tried to speed up the boot time of the Beaglebone?

When we do not have our Beaglebone connected to the network, it takes about a minute longer to boot up.

I found where someone recommended editing the network interface file (/etc/network/interfaces).

The change they recommended was changing auto to allow-hotplug for all of the interfaces.

Since we are running a web server on the beagle bone could this cause problems?

Robert might be able to comment on specifics there. 

Steps at https://elinux.org/Boot_Time are rather valid.

Which interface are you serving up the web pages from? There's certainly ways to prioritize interfaces and server and turn off unused stuff.

We use both the Ethernet port and the USB client port; however, the USB client(network port) is what we normally use.
