mmonsterski Posted July 22, 2022 #1 Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Hello I found solution for slow booting for this boards: Select OS Selection to Intel Linux in Bios - only problem is that at most bioses this option is hidden (Default is Windows ). I found that after reading: https://www.cnx-software.com/2017/10/26/mele-pcg35-apo-apollo-lake-mini-pc-review-part-3-ubuntu-17-10/ (this board is j3455 based) To change that I've used tools from https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/tool-guide-ami-setup-ifr-extractor-amisetupwriter/32801 For my gigabyte j3455-d3h with f3 bios (part of IFR): 0x19C71 One Of: OS Selection, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x48A, VarStore: 0x1, QuestionId: 0x273E, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x4, Step: 0x0 {05 91 E0 01 E1 01 3E 27 01 00 8A 04 14 10 00 04 00} 0x19C82 One Of Option: Windows, Value (8 bit): 0x0 (default) {09 07 E2 01 30 00 00} 0x19C89 One Of Option: Android, Value (8 bit): 0x1 {09 07 E3 01 00 00 01} 0x19C90 One Of Option: Win7, Value (8 bit): 0x2 {09 07 E4 01 00 00 02} 0x19C97 One Of Option: MSDOS, Value (8 bit): 0x4 {09 07 E5 01 00 00 04} 0x19C9E End One Of {29 02} Linux option is not present... But after research I found bios file for Vorke v1 Plus (part of IFR): 0x193E1 One Of: OS Selection, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x494, VarStore: 0x1, QuestionId: 0x272A, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x4, Step: 0x0 {05 91 9C 01 9D 01 2A 27 01 00 94 04 14 10 00 04 00} 0x193F2 One Of Option: Windows, Value (8 bit): 0x0 (default) {09 07 9E 01 30 00 00} 0x193F9 One Of Option: Android, Value (8 bit): 0x1 {09 07 9F 01 00 00 01} 0x19400 One Of Option: Win7, Value (8 bit): 0x2 {09 07 A0 01 00 00 02} 0x19407 One Of Option: Intel Linux, Value (8 bit): 0x3 {09 07 A2 01 00 00 03} 0x1940E One Of Option: MSDOS, Value (8 bit): 0x4 {09 07 A1 01 00 00 04} 0x19415 End One Of {29 02} I've booted mainboard with AmiSetupWriter and run: amisetupwriter 0x48A 0x3 After this change Xpenology start to boot fast Of course this Info is valid only for Gigabyte J3455-D3H with F3 and will work until settings will be reset ( cmos reset or load defaults from bios ) Ps. I've started to modding bios to just show this option - WIP Ps2. Warning: This is bios modding - You can brick your mainboard Ps3. Sorry for my english - is very rusty and I'm not using it very often Edited July 22, 2022 by mmonsterski 2 4 Quote

real3x Posted July 29, 2022 #10 Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) What a really brillant find ! MB: Gigabyte j3455N-d3H bios F3 - DSM 7.1-42661 Update 3 - Tinycore-Redpill v0.9.0.2 - DS918+ amisetupwriter 0x48A 0x3 Before the patch [ 864.010263] AtNasticot login: After the patch [ 51.619683] AtNasticot login: 💥 813 sec less !!! 🚀 I think this patch fix an issue with the USB, i've an external HDD plug on an USB3 port, and when i start a simple transfert smb/sftp/afp the transfert speed quickly slowdown, if i stress just a few the CPU the transfert come back to the original speed, it's like an energy saving mechanism. And since this patch, transfert speed is constant and full !! So IMHO it's the same for the boot, the BootLoader USB key slow down quickly ant take age to finish. (and maybe it fix some other things that we never saw) @mmonsterski You ROXXXX ! Edited July 29, 2022 by real3x Quote

pleitex Posted November 27, 2022 #23 Posted November 27, 2022 Hi guys, I have a j4205 motherboard and I don't quite understand what I have to modify in the BIOS. I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to explain to me how to make the modification for fast boot since I do not have much knowledge on this subject. Thank you very much and greetings Quote
