[Lime 2 goes to sleep/offline]

My A20 is just sitting here, stable but not doing much. The work I envisaged for it, I got a Odroid64 instead. I keep on seeing clock speed mentioned, I am not a Linux expert by any manner of means and the only thing I can reference this to, is where I change the speed of my Raspberry Pi's in raspi-config. It is pretty easy to do.

 

If there is something different I can change, to see if it helps in troublshooting, I am happy to do-as long as its simple and not time consuming.

 

cheers

Moved over to the "offical" Olimex release-A20 has been rock solid for nearly 10 days. Make your own mind up on what you want your box to run on!!

Hi

Sorry-dont have a serial console-can do SSH if you tell me the command/log/statement you want

So I found a spare bit of time, and dropped on the (basic?) Olimex Jessie image-guess what-its stable!

So the Armbian image must be doing something the board doesn't like I guess

I bought an Odroid C2-its been rock solid since I bought it. No going to sleep, not having to mess about with other images, it.just.works. As do my Pi's, up for 30 days and more.

So not sure if this is a hardware problem, or a software problem-but its getting the heave into Ebay. I've not got the time, nor the energy, to try and make someone else's experiment work.

 

cheers

Thanks for that-building images is a bit beyond me at the moment :-) so might be one for later

I saw another thread where the CPU is changed from on-demand to performance-I have tried that, and put the device on monitor. I will see how it goes.

 

cheers

Hi there

Have purchased a Lime 2 device, as it offered GigE-which my Pi's dont :-) Loaded up both the vanilla and the normal distro's but both have this annoying habit of the device just goes to sleep-sometimes after a few hours. When I say sleep, I can still see the Ethernet LED's blinking away-but it wont respond to PING's, and it wont respond to SSH. Plugging in a monitor and keyboard doesn't bring it back to life either. If I power recycle it (2.5A unit being used-have tried the OTG and the 5vdc but no difference), up she comes. Fully updated in terms of packages.

I have even set up a continuous ping to my home router from the Lime 2 (its on my internal LAN) to see of this would keep it up, but no luck. I've searched up on this, but nothing I find seems to make any difference.

Before I send it back (UK reseller), anyone have any ideas on what I could try? Desperate for the thing to work, but as it would be in a remote location, no way can I use it if it decides to give up the ghost on a random basis! :-)

 

cheers
