We are currently using the MyRio to run our Formula Hybrid Racecar. We have loaded on a RT application and programmed it to run on startup. It works just fine but takes 20-22 seconds to start running the RT program when the system is powered. We are running very simple code with no modifications to the FPGI. Is there a way to improve the startup time of the MyRio?
Thanks,

Hey Joseph,
The myRIO runs the NI Linux Real-Time operating system. When you power on the myRIO the OS loads, then the necessary drivers load, then your startup application can start running. A lot of the boot time is due to the OS and there is nothing the user can do to speed this up. If you have a bunch of drivers installed (software you installed through MAX) that you are not using you may be able to improve the boot time by removing the unused drivers.
Thanks!
