Is there any chance of booting this on a raspberry pi someday? I'd love a non-linux minimal single-user OS that boots in <1 second

- pavlov 1y agoIt’s written for the i386 CPU architecture while Raspberry Pi is ARM, so it would need to be ported. What about Haiku OS? It’s supposed to be for that exact use case…
- velcrovan 1y agoI don't think Haiku runs on raspberry pi either.
- incanus77 1y agoWhile I share the sentiment (and have been noodling with similar projects), unfortunately the minimum is around 4 seconds as the VideoCore chip is what boots first, then after about 4 seconds hands things over to the ARM chip, which can effectively boot instantly with this sort of OS.
- velcrovan 1y agoIs that 4sec delay something introduce in the pi 4 or 5? At least one guy got the 3 to boot to a Qt app in 2.8 seconds: https://www.furkantokac.com/rpi3-fast-boot-less-than-2-seconds/ https://www.furkantokac.com/rpi3-fast-boot-less-than-2-secon...
- incanus77 1y agoI've seen it with a 3 as well. That method, among other things, loses USB keyboard and mouse support. I haven't gone down that extreme a path yet...
