It happened again, my Beaglebone White crashed as a thunderstorm moved through the area. It is on a UPS, the same UPS as my router ASUS RT-AC56 and Raspberry Pi2, neither of which glitched in any way.
It does have a lot of interface wiring hooked up but these are very thoroughly EMP protected with Transorbs and have been in use for 20+ years surviving tropical storm Allison, Hurricane Ike, and many other national news worth storms in the Houston area -- this was a pitiful storm by our standards never even making the lights noticeably flicker, although the UPSes did "beep" once. This protection was added in a rebuild after EMP from Hurricane Alicia wiped out the initial system (pre-IBMPC CMOS logic). Why is the BBW far more sensitive to this than the RPi2 using similar 2A+ wall-wart power supplies plugged into the same UPS? My initial "work-around" would be a watchdog running on the RPi2 to active a normally closed relay to interrupt the BBW power supply so it'd restart after after the BBW dies. I've already have in place network monitoring of the BBW status and a "heartbeat" to detect when it stops. But I'd rather the BBW didn't crash :( -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
