Timesys Services for Boot Time Reduction

Boot Time Evaluation Service

Our Boot Time Evaluation Service begins with a phone consultation or web meeting that will enable us to gain an understanding of your specific requirements. Following the consultation, the Timesys engineering team will analyze your specific product requirements, and make recommendations tailored to meet both those requirements and your engineering teams’ Linux experience. The advice will be aligned with your current engineering processes so you can decide on the next steps to take with your project.

The Timesys analysis will provide you with:

• Detailed information on where the boot time is being spent.
• Recommendations for system boot time reduction.

Need Extremely Fast Boot Time?

For engineering teams requiring extremely fast boot times, Timesys recommends LINEOWarp!!® — a quick-start solution for embedded Linux that can enable systems to boot as much as 9x* faster.

LINEOWarp!!® is a licensed product that saves a snapshot image of the system memory while applications are running and the hardware status (contents of register) to a designated hibernation area. By restoring the snapshot image directly when the device is powered on, LINEOWarp!!® significantly reduces the amount of code and memory access required at boot time.
