In that case, use the v4.19.x-rt branch: today (April 16) that would be 4.19.31-bone-rt-r31
http://repos.rcn-ee.net/latest/stretch-armhf/LATEST-bone-rt
Most of the current startup delay is loading all the usb gadget modules and waiting for the wl18xx SoftAp0 startup.
v4.14.x-rt was very slow on startup…
Regards,
rfkill is a user/rootfs setting.

Fixed with: 4.14.109-bone-rt-r21

Hello，
To shorten the booting time, I have disabled some backend services as below. Do you know how to disable usb0/usb1 network? Is there any other way to fast booting?
Thanks.

Here’s a couple questions before i answer that.
Are you using usb0/usb1? Are you using the usb-serial gadget device? (Are you using the usb-flash gadget device?) Are you using the SoftAp0 wifi interface?
These are all tied together internally, so depending on your answer there are certain things that can be done…
Regards,
Hi,
We just use the wifi network and bluetooth. We do not need softap and usb0/usb1 and usb-serial gadget.
B.R.
Okay, just disable generic-board-startup.service then…
sudo systemctl disable generic-board-startup.service
You’ll get a few more seconds, as that script loads an external module and builds a usb gadget driver thru configfs, thus takes a few moments…
Regards,
Just tried but it took longer.

Hum, i guess force loading those modules helped speed up wifi loading…
Well next I’d remove your custom uuid option for rootfs, as that get’s decoded by the initramfs which you can also remove to get a few moments…
Then you can remove the /boot/initrd* file and you should get another speedup…
Regards,
So this was caused by our service file for bluetooth requiring generic-board-startup.sevice:
I don’t remember the hard requirements for that, but you could try editing: /lib/systemd/system/bb-wl18xx-bluetooth.service
and change:
After=getty.target bluetooth.service generic-board-startup.service
After=getty.target bluetooth.service
But retest and verify bluetooth still works…
Regards,
Hello，
1，What’s the procedure to remove “initramfs”?
2, I tried to remove generic-board-startup.service in /lib/systemd/system/bb-wl18xx-bluetooth.service, but it seems bluetooth still start up slowly. Even I disable bb-wl18xx-bluetooth.service, still start up slowly. multi-user.target/getty.target is waiting for something up till time out. Is there any way to remove the dependency on generic-board-startup.service for multi-user.target/getty.target?

First make sure you’ve removed all references to UUID in /boot/uEnv.txt
Next just delete these files and reboot…
sudo rm -rf /boot/initrd*
