Abstract :
Software on mobile devices has become increasingly complicated as end users demand a PC-converged user experience on the mobile Internet. This has complicated the software configuration and boot procedures, resulting in a longer boot time. This is damaging to the mobile user experience. Many legacy techniques to enable the fast boot time differentiation in mobile handsets are not applicable to the today´s advanced handsets, which are capable of handling rich multimedia applications. The authors propose a fast boot method for embedded mobile Linux, that is suitable for mobile handsets. They evaluate the proposed method in a prototype for a commercial handset and show positive results in a single-digit user sensed boot time.
