Hi, I’ve been working on reducing Xavier NX with R35.3.1 boot time and found that it took long time during UEFI.
Then I use uefi DEBUG version to show how it works, but I can not figure out which part can be removed.
uefidebuglog.txt (75.9 KB)
And it seems UEFI loaded a lot of drivers, if I want to remove such as USB driver loaded in UEFI, how can I change the configuration file in UEFI source file
Hi 854053437,
Are you using the devkit or custom board for Xavier NX?
Please refer to the following thread to remove the modules in configuration files.

I‘m using a custom board for Xavier NX
I tried remove Networking stack in NVIDIA.common.dsc,inc and NVIDIA.fvmain.fdf.inc, but error happend in UEFI build as follows:

I found that I mistakely remove Networking Requirements part causes build error and this is not a question anymore
By the way, I noticed that r35.3.1-updates can reduce boot time, and I met build error after I clone updates work space as picture shows
Do you know how to fix it?
Hi, Kevin. I followed your suggestion to modify UEFI and remove Networking support. It did reduce some boot time.
And I want to remove more things like USB support, but it always come to build failed such as
Module /home/csp/nvidia_source/uefi_lxh/nvidia-uefi-r35.3.1/edk2-nvidia/Silicon/NVIDIA/Drivers/EFuseDxe/EFuseDxe.inf NOT found in DSC file; Is it really a binary module?
when I removed usb support line in NVIDIA.common.dsc.inc、NVIDIA.fvmain.fdf.inc、Jetson.dsc.inc、Jetson.fdf.inc
did I miss some thing?
Thanks for your help
I found the reason that why build r3531-updates failed, the build option -mno-outline-atomics requires GCC 10.x and my gcc tool version is gcc-bootlin-9.3.0-aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu
Is there any way to avoid this problem
Yes, there’re some fixes in this update branch improve the boot time.
You could also update to R35.4.1 and the fixes should be included.
Could you build the UEFI binary when you don’t have any modification in source?
Are you using Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 as your host PC?
Thanks, I’ll try it
Yes, I have already build the UEFI binary without modification and with removing networking stack.
But removing the USB support part it will failed when build
My host PC is Ubuntu18.04
I would suggest just removing other parts in UEFI.
You could remove the 5s autoboot time in UEFI to reduce boot time.
Thanks, I’ve reduced some time in UEFI included 5s autoboot time,
