Thanks ebin-dev, That worked (but you already knew that) kr., Patrick

Hi, I had a little time and flashed the new firmware: espressobin-bootloader-cpu-1000-ddr3-2cs-1g-atf-ga3306ab-uboot-gaee49fc-20180129-REL.bin Set the environment settings again as found here: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/e8868352324f5ee9567f2d06a0110c8f123a0384 Burned an image (Armbian_5.38_Espressobin_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img) with Etcher.

I know, But I never used the serial connection with my macbook connected to a power supply

Sorry, the 5 day's up-time isn't the record. I changed this governor setting 5 days ago and had no kernel panic anymore.

I changed the settings in /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils and /etc/default/cpufrequtils

I had the firmware 1200/750 running but almost every day I had a kernel panic. I switched over to 1000/800 and had kernel panics every hour or so. Then I changed the governor from " ondemand" to "conservative" and now I have an up-time of 5 days kr., Patrick

Changed ondemand governor to conservative, it's more stable for now. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Should this make the ESPRESSObin a bit more stable (les kernel panics)? For now this thing is hardly useable for personal use with OMV4 installed (with Docker and Plex).

Sometimes I've got this kind of errors and the system doesn't respond anymore: Message from syslogd@localhost at Jan 12 17:42:02 ... kernel:[39637.813868] Call trace: Message from syslogd@localhost at Jan 12 17:42:02 ... kernel:[39637.822536] Call trace: After a few minutes (approx. 10 or so), the system is running normal again. kr. Patrick

I'm back to 1200_750 MHz and the crashes are gone. So the 1000_800 MHz doesn't work for at this moment. kr., Patrick

When I connect to the console when the ESPRESSObin has crashed, I only get an empty window. For me it's only possible to see the console when my macbook is connected (and the cosole open) on a running ESPRESSObin.

Hi, Sometimes my ESPRESSObin crashes (I think). I need to "hard reset" the ESPRESSObin and afterwards it runs normal again. Is there a way, a log file or so, to find the cause of the crash? kr., Patrick

I flashed the u-boot with "flash-image-1g-1000_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin" and burned a new image on the sd-card. Now the scaling works for me also. # cat /proc/version Linux version 4.4.107-mvebu64 (root@xeon) (gcc version 6.4.1 20171012 (Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.11) ) #7 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 30 14:02:18 CET 2017 # cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: cpufreq-dt CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 1 maximum transition latency: 50.0 us. hardware limits: 200 MHz - 1000 MHz available frequency steps: 200 MHz, 250 MHz, 500 MHz, 1000 MHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance current policy: frequency should be within 250 MHz and 1000 MHz.

Thanks ebin-dev, My cpufrequtils are: ENABLE=true MIN_SPEED=200000 MAX_SPEED=1200000 GOVERNOR=ondemand The scaling doesn't work for me. In the passed I tested with the 1000MHz u-boot but got a lot of kernel-panics. Now, a few weeks or more later, I'll flash my u-boot again to 1000MHz. See what's happen. kr., Patrick

Hello, First of all the best wishes for 2018 to everyone! I'm running "ARMBIAN 5.37.171231 nightly Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.4.107-mvebu64" on my ESPRESSObin. When I check the cpu-frequency with armbianmonitor -m, the cpu runs always at 200MHz. After the following commands: cpufreq-set -c 0 -d 200000 -u 1200000 -g ondemand cpufreq-set -c 1 -d 200000 -u 1200000 -g ondemand the cpu runs always at 1200MHz. After a reboot it runs at 200MHz again. It looks like the cpu doesn't scale with the load. kr., Frepke

Thanks for your help. I'll avoid this combination for now and use sata instead. Kr., Patrick Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Sorry, When I ran the test, the drive was connected to the USB3 port. Here it's connected to the USB2 port: http://sprunge.us/hFfT kr., Patrick

Thanks, The results of 'sudo armbianmonitor -u' are uploaded to: http://sprunge.us/UUCX kr., Patrick

I've ARMBIAN 5.34.171121 nightly Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.4.99-mvebu64 running on my ESPRESSObin. I've also an external harddrive in this enclosure: http://www.orico.cc/goods.php?id=6351 When I connect it to my USB2.0 port, the drive is recognized but on the USB3.0 port it's not recognized. When I plugin an USB2.0 thumb-drive in the USB3.0 port it's recognized. Is there something can try? kr., Patrick

My MacBook Pro isn't the most recent (mid-2012 non-retina) and an Asus RT-AC3200. I disabled Wi-Fi completely as far as I know. I just loaded a fresh image and only created a Samba-share (armbian-config) but the performance got worse (approx 7MB/s). kr., Patrick

Hello tkaiser, Thanks for your reaction, I think it's a compliment for my wireless network. I did the local storage test as you asked and post the results here: https://pastebin.com/qNaprd0s kr., Patrick

I've tried it (I only could use 1000000 instead of 1200000) but the up-/downloadspeed got worse.
