Thanks for your response. After several tries I came to the conclusion that the used USB hub seems to be faulty. RPi-e is running fine since I changed that. I hope this was all it takes 🙂

Hey guys, we are facing an issue we can not resolve ourselves so we are looking for some help on here... Our Rock Pi E does not restart successfully occasionally. Running the Rock Pi E with latest official Armbian with a USB soundcard attached. We are capturing audio and distribute the captured audio via "(c)VLC" via network. Since a few months we are facing reboot issues which are persistent but not easily reproducible. Whenever we reboot manually, everything works fine. When rebooting via cron it does often not reboot and get into a freeze state which makes it impossible to connect via SSH nor serial-adapter. We already tried switching the power source (suspecting a lack of power), adding a powered USB hub in-between and renewing the USB soundcard to eliminate any defects. We also switched SD card and now even switched to eMMC completely. Also we had in mind that this could be a heat issue, so we installed heatsinks and even a little fan. I am not 100% sure if this is the only issue since we had some hickups with cvlc, too, which stopped audio streaming suddenly when running for a long time. We had the setup untouched running for a few months, then it started to crash every other week, then like every other day. This is when we came up with a daily reboot to gain some time inspecting what the issue could be. armbian -u: https://paste.armbian.com/umekijamum Output on serial right before it freezes: https://paste.armbian.com/sicesorulu.sql Any ideas? Is there a way to detect any RAM faults or faults in the underlying Armbian/Kernel that occured on some unintended reset/power failure? We did not re-install Armbian yet since this is quite a bit work to get it all done again.

Having the same issue with board revision 1.21 - the 1Gbit NIC doesn't work. Unfortunately I am not versed enough to patch this myself and compile my own version. In addition to that, it may break with future updates, doesn't it? Maybe someone can implement this in the main repository so it will work for all devices?
