  Abstract

This paper attempts to propose a method to improve the snapshot boot method, one of the methods to enhance the booting speed of the embedded Linux based system and to increase its efficiency. Snapshot boot is a method of using suspend/resume that is a method of saving and restoring the entire information of the current tasks, and it enhances the booting speed by processing a restoration of previous tasks from the bootloader instead of processing the Linux booting. The facing problem of snapshot boot is that it takes a long time to create images and save them to the storage device during the suspend process since it targets every pages. Additionally, if the switch is turned off while creating an image by some extraordinary circumstances, then the image is not created and thus, the resume process of snapshot boot cannot be executed. The suggest method in this paper creates the snapshot image for once only and utilize the image to enhance the speed and stability on booting.
