Fast booting based on nand flash memory
Yun Kyu Lee, Hyungbae Park, Cheol Jeon · 2012
Fast booting is an important tool for minimizing the booting time of embedded systems, and a major factor in determining the usability of the systems. Most fast booting tools have focused on minimizing the booting time by optimizing the processing time from the starting stage of the boot loader to mounting stage of the root file system. However, previous research works did not consider read and write overheads of nand flash memory. In this paper we propose an efficient fast booting for embedded systems based on nand flash memory. We also show that the proposed fast booting mechanism has better performance.
