Aug 16 10:00:35 <VoodooZ_Log> NAiL, Using openslug?  how fast is your whole boot sequence using Apex?
Aug 16 10:02:21 <NAiL> VoodooZ_Log: hang on, and I'll check
Aug 16 10:02:53 <VoodooZ_Log> No rush. I'm just teasing myself. :)
Aug 16 10:04:24 <NAiL> I can't get my serial to work right now for some reason. But it takes 2 secs from poweron to beep
Aug 16 10:04:46 <NAiL> I'm booting from flash, so it loads the kernel fast
Aug 16 10:06:13 <NAiL> The instant you switch on power, apex has started :)
Aug 16 10:06:24 <NAiL> No waiting for to press ctrl-c ;)
Aug 16 10:07:12 <VoodooZ_Log> very good.
Aug 16 10:07:22 <VoodooZ_Log> I guess openslug is still the biggest bottleneck.
Aug 16 10:07:46 <NAiL> Three's not much to optimize away from apex
Aug 16 10:08:02 <NAiL> You can shave off one second during boot if you drop the delay
Aug 16 10:08:18 <NAiL> But then I don't think you can interrupt it..
Aug 16 10:09:33 <VoodooZ_Work> true. but openslug takes much more time so apex is ok at 2-3 secs
Aug 16 10:09:55 <NAiL> yeah. The boot process takes a good while
Aug 16 10:13:25 <VoodooZ_Work> It's not a big deal but it's kind of ugly for a robot when entering a competition.
Aug 16 10:14:05 <NAiL> yeah :(
