looking for an equivalent to libreelec boot-delay in config.txt

To delay the system boot you can use at libreelec an entry in config.txt (boot_delay=… or boot_delay_ms=…). Exist there an equivalent posibility in coreelec?

In SSH console check if you have bootdelay set:

fw_printenv | grep bootdelay

If yes then make delay longer

fw_setenv bootdelay 5

Can I edit ‘/etc/fw_env.config’ by hand and place inside bootdelay 30 ?

Currently not possible on VIM4 and VIM1S devices using own image.

You can install Android to eMMC and bot from uSD/USB - then you can set those parameters.
