j___r Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 For the second time today on my few-days-old Odroid N2+ build with Buster desktop I have a system-wide freeze. Blue LED is constantly on and there is no response to keyboard or mouse events. Was interacting with Plex both times but I only have Plex, Tautulli and Samba server set up. I'm loath to pull the power but 30mins in to the second freeze (I pulled the plug on the first one). What should I be looking for when I get it running again?
Werner Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Enable verbosity and put a serial console to it and check if there is any output to it. Also create and provide logs with armbianmonitor -u once you rebooted it. Which image did you use?
j___r Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 Here's the armbianmonitor output https://app.box.com/s/np7u3bv3l7fpvzlybdz7xhh63d28ilkj
Werner Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 The best and almost only way to properly debug a SBC. It is a 3pin UART connector featuring RX, TX and GND. If you handle SBCs you defnitily want to invest in an USB-UART adapter. No worries, they are dirt cheap these days.
j___r Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 I used the Buster desktop 5.6 image from this page https://www.armbian.com/odroid-n2/
Werner Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 So you were basically using the wrong image for the board and wonder that it has hickups? Support for N2+ is in early development. However you can already build a proper N2+ image using the build tools.
j___r Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 "you can already build a proper N2+ image using the build tools." No, because I have no clue how to do this. Perhaps I should start off with HardKernal's image?

j___r Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 If "Support for N2+ is in early development" what hope do I have of building a stable image?
Werner Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 That it may work better since it is at least an image that is designed for that particular board

You can build an image with old 4.9.y but fairly functional Hardkernel kernel or try to go with bleeding edge 5.7.y ... which works but its overall problematic at this moment. "I only want stability" takes a loooot of time.
