Very long time to boot on raspberry (tutorial Bare bones)

[smagnin]

Hi everyone,

I'm beginner at OS development. So i've followed the bare bones tutorial (for raspberry pi). FOr the first time, I have understand and copy the example code, and test it on real raspberry pi (model B) with serial cable, to get the message.
Is it normal to wait 5 minutes or more to get the "Hello world" message ? In the code, nothing looks to do this huge delay. Is it due to the compiler ? Or Do I need to add/change something in the code ?

PS: I've tried with normal linux kernel and I get the output directly.

It's not normal. A simple bare bones kernel should boot almost instantaneously (once the Pi firmware has done it's thing), certainly faster than a Linux kernel. I can't guess what your problem is because I have never had such a problem.
