One Second Embedded Linux Boot Demonstration (new version)

[pieorpaj]

2:29 to show something that last one sec?

[ShaneNL69]

he sounds like arnold schwanegger, i'll be back

[MontaVistaSoftware]

You are right, it's not a desktop OS...it's an embedded Linux system.

[kurrator1]

6 ppl have embedded Windows

[seanawake]

fak this is no destop os

[sawboards]

@seanawake it's an EMBEDDED LINUX SYSTEM lern2reed

[Laxcon]

sounds like Governator

[ikemkrueger]

Why isn't that the case with "normal" pcs?

[polypolyman]

hmm, since the kernel probably won't be modified when it's in ram, I wonder if you could preload it - as in, have the addresses where the kernel would normally reside be made of flash containing the kernel...

[spauldingsmails3rd]

I don't know what's better; that Linux boots in one second, or that the music sounds like it's straight out of a 70s porno!

[trentor]

very interestin linux rulez1

[kroneage]

hmmm.... so this is the OS going on this pocket PC I was reading about. CPU uses less than 8watts. But then I understand Google Chrome will be booting ultra fast too. But then mobiles will prolly be using Android on clamshell or sliders configs.

I read that pocket and mobile PC market will grow to be larger than desktops and laptops combined. Over 450 Million in around 2 years w/ average 32gig fast drives.

I tried to change PC power usage attitude: manufacturers, educators, importantly software writers and users. First 24/7 & screensaver use must be tackled, then hardware power efficiency, then CPU work not of direct benefit. Then the big power wastage of over charging batteries will be significant. Only after that tackled should Thibaulthalpern turn off 2 sleeping laptops. I wish everyone thought about it that much. Please leave them on sleeping, talk & make an issue of it to everyone. Great!

[Keruaran]

I dig the music.

[secotek]

The majority of computers remain on & idle MOST of their lives BECAUSE they won't boot quickly. Power used & environmental damage dwarfs any 'don't leave stuff on standby' campaign, but is largely ignored. The 'it hasn't crashed' is simply a Microsoft Indictment. Battery powered or not, to refer to or do something: Computer on, use it, computer off (ZERO power (except clock=wristwatch power)). NOW what do you think about boot time?

[pdvalentini]

MontaVista Linux is intended for embedded industrial applications where IT DOES matter.

The smart phone example below is a good one too.

[Graviteh]

omg noob this iz so fake azz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u can tel bcuz its a video he turns on and off moronz

Sorry, someone had to do it. And by "it" I mean post a very dumb comment.

[seriouslycgi]

htink smart phone, but dont limit yourself, think smart car, if your car ran linux you could do so much more. my phone boots up in about 40 seconds ( at a guess ) imagine if it was off an i needed it in an emergency? 40 seconds would seem like 5 minutes. sure its not like the world will change with fast boot up times, but it will be ahead 40 seconds.

[kpbotbot]

mine takes minutes. o.0 an n73. :D

[Assassinate4u]

he is from finland ^^

[marblewonder]

he's got a northern european accent, don't be ignorant

[testtestiness]

this is perfectly reasonable, at 400 MHz with an assumed CPI of 2 that means they have approximately 300 million instructions to do the boot. With lots of work over DMA in parallel to CPU work, this looks quite doable. 300 million instructions is a lot of work, sufficed to boot pretty big operating systems a decade ago.

[frvfilms]

duh,its embed enviroment, no os.,

it all loads from rom.

It`s more than a terminal, it`s a graphical interface, but only with the components needed. Of course it`s Linux Kernel, it`s made but MontaVista!

[caiocc12]

it would be nice if it booted to a command prompt instead, so we could really SEE it is Linux running behind that.

[blokecom]

nice!
