I'd love to get a sub-5-second boot working FluidSynth demo going. I'm interested to work on this with somebody. The problem with ultra-fast RPi booting is I'm not sure enough drivers/services will be running for FluidSynth to really work. Here are some fast-booting RPi claims: - https://kevinboon

I'm looking at the plot from systemd-analyze, which gives times from when the kernel starts, so I guess it doesn't include boot. If I time with a stopwatch it is about 25 seconds from power on until ready to play. Not that fast I guess. On Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 11:10 PM Ben Gonzales via fluid-dev <

How fast do you need? I've been able to get FS start times of 7-10 seconds on a Raspberry Pi by running it as a systemd service. Here you can see the unit file I use, if tha

Hi all. I've been running FS on Raspberry Pis for a number of years now. I'm looking for a new platform that runs FS, is small, low power and starts fast. Is there such a thing? The obvious choice for this is a Pi Zero, but it's not too fast in starting. Ben
