→Startup sequence
Please note that init implementations can differ: Busybox offers its own version while other distributions, like Angstrom, can provide the classic System V version. More modern distros, like Ubuntu, implements Upstart, a complete replacement of the init daemon.

= Non-volatile memories partitioning scheme =
In general, many different schemes can be implemented. Cost, reliability, speed are just some of the parameters to be considered when designing the partitioning scheme. [[Standalone_boot_(BELK/BXELK)|This article]] shows two quite different schemes on the same platform, for example.
==Boot time==
Some applications require a quick boot time. When deploying an embedded Linux system, this time has to be evaluated in order to verify if it matches the system requirement, if any. Should the boot sequence is too long, several techniques can be used to speed it up. For more details, please see [[SDVX-TN-001:_Fast_boot_time|this page]] or [https://elinux.org/Boot_Time this article]].
