I was just reading about the BeagleBone yesterday, and I thought I saw boot time of closer to one minute. I googled and found a pared down custom kernel boot time of 15 seconds. Do you have a source for the three second boot?

Since I work for NI, anything I say/ask can easily come off as defensive, but please don't take it that way. As I said, I'm playing with one too, or at least I hope to this afternoon, and thus far it seems very cool. Without a cape, it seems like the I/O is pretty limited, and I'm a little concerned about burning it up if I short pins or reverse a cable, but it is a cool and capable little board.

In San Antonio, I spoke with 118, who are using one for image processing for this year's game, so I don't really understand you comments in that regard. Any experience to the contrary?
