Linux boot to Application and Touchscreen Issue

[timroberts]

Hello,

I'm running into trouble where I'm attempting to optimize the boot time of my Beaglebone Black. The Beaglebone Black is running Debian Bookworm, kernel 5.10.16-ti-r76. I've played around with the boot order and I can get my application to launch earlier in the boot process, however, this causes my touchscreen to no longer function. I'm using systemctl to determine the boot order.

For some reason , this appears to be related to the networking functionality of linux. Networking needs to start prior to my application or the touchscreen doesn't work. I find this odd, as the 2 are not related. I do not have networking of any sort compiled in to the application.

Does anyone know what I can do to keep my touchscreen functioning while moving the application up in the boot order?

I realize this is a difficult question and there are many possibilities, but any direction I can get is appreciated.
