Yes, it does.

I haven't found information regarding the RAM size and the CPU/RAM speeds. Any hint about it? A full specification can also be helpful.

Anyone tried to connect usb 3g modem to this board?

 

I've installed usb-modeswitch and my usb modem recognized as /dev/cdc-wdm0. unfortunately i cant see any /dev/ttyUSBx at all to connect to the internet.

anyone know how to solve this issue?

Marvel 88SE9215 works with the next branch. Anyway CPU frequency is not changing based on the load :unsure:. It shows as 600 and not changing.

DVFS is available for the 3720 in mainline since 4.16 and afaik Igor has ported it back to 4.14. It works flawlessly with kernel 4.14.28 (next-stable).

Of course you need to adapt /etc/default/cpufrequtils to values displayed by cpufreq-info.

Does anybody experience the same annoyance of the wan interface staying offline until it is explicitly reset?

I think there may be some instability with the ExpressBin,

 

I have seen it crash a few times now. Not quite sure what is causing it.

 

I got this dump once

another time it complained about CPU0 locking up (one message then freeze on serial console)

Say i messed up the uboot loader and put the wrong one in.

 

How can i tell what the correct boot loader is

 

 flash-image-1g-2cs-1000_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin

 

1g - There is a sticker on the board that says 1g. i assume that means its the 1 gig model, is there a way oto verify

 

2cs - Does that mean 2 chips. IE there are two ram chips (one on top one on bottom)

 

1000 - speed  i is this for over clocking, if not how can i tell what i have

800- DDR speed same question as above

Then I think it's not working properly in 4.14.33. I did try adjusting the cpufrequtils file. e.g.: 200 to 1200. Frequency was shown as 1200 all the time, but I saw rapid transitions between a lower frequency and 1200 in the transition table.

something wrong with it I guess. However I'm using the legacy ( 4.4 ) and frequency scaling is working in that kernel as expected.

does anyone know where i can find an "offical" image i can test to see if it happesn there to.

Expand  

The official images are on the download page (you know that). Execute 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' and you are on 4.14.28 (next-stable).

I think DVFS was made available by @Igor as of 4.14.23.

Did you flash the latest u-boot to SPI ?

DVFS in mainline ramps up very quickly. If you look at the statistics i.e. shown by cpufreq-info or the transition table everything is fine. 

 cpufreq stats: 200 MHz:0.00%, 250 MHz:84.60%, 500 MHz:1.22%, 1000 MHz:14.17%  (9729)

Did you select the right u-boot for your board ? (if you have only one memory chip on the bottom of the board select the cs1 1GB version)

If you have bricked your board sata boot recovery is going to help.

Expand  

 

Recovered it using the SATA method today (love people who know that there are idiots like me and build in a back up recovery method!)

 

Two ramchip model? where are the ram chips located. both at the bottom?

If your EspressoBin is older than a few months it has two RAM chips - one on each side opposite to each other. Recent 1GB models have only one chip at the bottom.

I am seeing two "crashes"

  

Bad mode in Synchronous Abort handler detected, code 0x86000018 -- IABT (current EL)

Im on xenial next, latest uboot from armbian. I get a lot of crashes when interfacing with gpio. Sometimes it hangs/reboots. After hard reset, I can barely login again. Most of the time, I'm stuck on /scripts/local-block loop, then drops into busybox shell.
