Really disagree. Loading a few megabytes of kernel would take way less than a second even on microSD. eMMC can be noticeably faster, yet you’re still saying it takes 6 seconds on your eMMC BeagleBoard.
Hardware initialization takes time.
Can it be faster? Probably, but you haven’t provided a compelling example by referencing the BeagleBoard being one second faster.
7.7 seconds isn’t mind blowing, but it’s not crawling. It’s more than adequate here.
If they optimize it more in the future... cool.
If you want open systems, the upcoming RISC-V SBC revolution seems likely to be much friendlier than Broadcom, but the Pi is already more open than most ARM platforms, in my opinion.
