Hi All,
We are using arm64, quad-core, with Linux Kernel 5.15 with 1GB NAND.
We have A/B partitioning and around 9 ubi volumes.
During boot-up we observed that the ubiattach alone is taking around
1.2 secs (either user space or kernel space).
The snapshot of the log is shown below.
I have tried using fastmap as well, but still no difference.
Are there any other techniques to improve the ubiattach timing ?
