Skip UBoot animation?
Skip UBoot animation?
My X5000 boot time from the time the X5000 UBoot screen is displayed to Workbench screen open is 75 seconds. If I press the space bar as soon as the UBoot animation starts and start AmigaOS from the UBoot menus, the boot time is 45 to 50 seconds. Is there a way (like a UBoot setting) to automatically skip the UBoot animation?

Re: Skip UBoot animation?
You can set the number of animation cycles with "amigabootmenu_animcycle", like so:
Code: Select all
amigabootmenu_animcycles = 1 // limits it to a single cycle

Thanks Tony! A very wellcome trick, indeed...tonyw wrote:You can set the number of animation cycles with "amigabootmenu_animcycle", like so:

If I remember correctly, this variable was not used in the default UBoot settings. Where could we found the complete list of possible X5000 UBoot variables? Some explanation how to use them would not do harm, either... Could it be included in AmiWiki?

I don't have a full list myself, but I'll see if I can get one and add it to the Wiki.

Thanks Tony. It works and noticably speeds up cold boot times.tonyw wrote:You can set the number of animation cycles with "amigabootmenu_animcycle", like so:Code: Select all

I tried setting this uBoot variable and saveenv, but no change.

It only works on the latest version of the X-5000 U-Boot. If your U-Boot is older, you will have to get an updated U-Boot image and update it.daveyw wrote:I tried setting this uBoot variable and saveenv, but no change.

Make sure that you have the s at the end .
Should be
amigabootmenu_animcycles=1
and not
amigabootmenu_animcycle=1
Should be
amigabootmenu_animcycles=1
