Have you measured:<br>
1) The time to load all of the dependencies and get to "int main" of the compositor?<br>
2) The time from "int main" to the first rendered frame? Is this what you mean by 500 ms? This looks abnormally large to me. <br>
<br>
First one may be improved by programs like preload. For second one, you should use tracing within Weston to figure out where is most of the time being spent.<br>

We are currently working our way towards releasing Weston 9.0.0, so this version is quite old.<br>

Ouch, that's quite long.<br>

Weston itself with the DRM + GL backends only takes around 750kB once installed. I assume the 65MB comes from extra dependencies, but that is something you would have to investigate and configure in your Yocto build. Weston itself does not have many dependencies, and those dependencies are not large.<br>

<br>
NXP has forked Weston and written their own backend, which is responsible for the initialisation (both the time and the blank screen). The default DRM backend is quite quick to come up and be responsive, and doesn't blank the screen. So both these issues are something you'd need to raise with NXP support, as they are due to NXP's changes to our code.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
