did quite a bit of research on how i can shrink the price and increase performance for the camera; currently i'm using an rpi camera connected to a rpi zero 2 w which isn't horribly expensive but definitely more expensive than id like. The more pressing problem however is that the rpi takes over 15 seconds to boot and configure everything which is unacceptable. I want boot time to be under 3 seconds. Theoretically that could be accomplished with a custom buildroot but I want to see if I can use an rp2350 instead which is next to instant boot time and far cheaper.

would a rp2350 be fast enough though? idk much about cameras but I think the postprocessing you did would be at least somewhat slow on a mcu. you could totally get boot time to be 3s or less by just removing the init system and using a bash script to set up only what is actually needed and you would still get the performance of a rpi zero, so you could maybe even add more features
