Do you know any other fast boot solution than linuxbios? I tested Via fast boot util, but it is not so fast...
For example, how about this. General Software Embedded BIOS http://www.gensw.com/pages/prod/firmbase/firmbase.htm
I've not used firmbase. But I have used GenSw on a previous project.
You will need some cash. 3 years ago the royalites were about $7/copy minimum lot of 100. Source is available but it costs about $20k. Its one massive pile of assembly code. Resonablly well coded though. And when I got it all setup it worked nicely. The support although expensive was good. In some cases I was talking to the guy who wrote a lot of the code.
I don't know any of the current prices.
We get a lot of eval boards now that have GenSW's stuff on them now though and I really don't care for thier license scheme. They have a large delay built into the boot sequence and you have to e-mail in or call to get a license that will by-pass that. I did call (and e-mail) several times for one board but never got a response.
