badram, add tolerance to faulty RAM


Recommended Posts

I have a rockpro64 that i use as a NAS. It recently started to behave unexpectedly and after investigating the issue i realised that the RAM has defective block.

after searching for a solution (because i'd like not to waste 80$ to get a new board and my BGA soldering skill are far from whats needed to change the RAM module) there seems to be one that is called badram. It basically tell the kernel not to use a set of known bad addresses. saddly this is not a standard package but a kernel patch made for debian and ubuntu that i have no idea how to install on ARMBIAN.

I was wondering if it would be interesting and possible to add this option to armbian.

the way i see it it would be a module in the armbian-config tools that check the RAM and if badblock are found the user is promoted if they can be added to a blacklist.
