ean365 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Armbian recently merged and will be releasing (and backporting) a patched devicetree file for the Odroid C4 and HC4 that eliminates the second power-cycle "glitch" during boot. Hopefully this will fix at least one issue people have been reporting, where some HDDs (or other devices) do not react well to rapid power double-tap during boot. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.19/board-odroid-sm1-regulators-boot-on.patch It will also be released (and likely backported) upstream in next Linux kernel release and/or fixes. Also, something else people have been reporting is the HC4 struggling to spin up two large HDDs at the same time. If you have an HDD with a "Power Up In Standby" (PUIS) setting, such as the Seagate IronWolf, then you can configure all non-system (non-boot) drives in this manner, and then mount and access them sequentially after the system has booted. Depending on how much power the HDDs use in regular operation, this might work to get both spun up and running. Theoretically, you could also access just one drive at a time and then place it back in standby before using the other drive. YMMV. Edited 3 hours ago by ean365 0 Quote
