[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Got my first BBB last week, installed latest Debian. USB Hot Plug was completely hosed in Kernel 3.8 so I upgraded to 3.16 (latest non-rc version). Currently running CUPS print services (including Airprint) and weewx. It appears that the BBB is rebooting three or four times between 10pm and 1am, this has happened the last two days. I discovered it because weewx was going into an ftp loop because the system clock time was getting whacked (it is time/date sensitive to process weather data). Nothing in the log files unusual. Powered with a 5v 2a supply. Ethernet cable attached and external USB Hub (has external power but not used) with printer (turned off) and Weather Data Logger attached (has it's own power). Before I start experimenting with removing USB Hub, plugging in just Weather Data Logger, etc. thought I'd check here first. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
I am booting straight from eMMC that I flashed, no uSD and no serial interface. I have disabled cups and weewx from starting and removed the external USB HUB and changed the power supply to another 5v 2a. I can tell it has rebooted by looking at syslog for ntpdate 'step time server' events. My syslog resets daily at 6am, so looking at syslog1 it rebooted 10 times in last 24hrs. This is not a shutdown or reboot it is a system reset. Since I have removed all external attachments and USB is idle, I have to assume it's either a board hardware issue or the 3.16 kernel as reboot times are random and I don't have anything in cron.hourly. In 3.16 leds have been renamed to heartbeat, mmc0, usr2, usr3. I have heartbeat turned off. PSTREE not installed and apparently not a .deb dist either.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
I have downgraded the kernel from 3.16.0-bone2 to 3.15.10-bone8 and so far no reboots in the last 3 hours. If I get a full 24 hr cycle without reboots, I'll blame it on 3.16.0 and try to re-attach ext USB HUB, weather data logger, printer, and enable cups and weewx and see how far I get this time. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Instead of rebooting 10 to 12 times it only rebooted 3 times in syslog, at 6:24pm and 11:06pm and 12:03am. Still random reboots though with nothing in USB and sitting idle. Not so sure it's a kernel issue at this point, could be hardware related but willing to try another kernel to see what happens. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
I just downgraded to 3.14.17-bone8 so let's see how that works. Will watch syslog for 24 hrs and see if it reboots.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Thanks for the suggestion, if I get reboots with 3.14.17 I'll try the usb power and if that doesn't work I'll go back to 3.8 although I had USB hot plug issues with that version.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
BBB ran for 6 hours and just rebooted at 12:30pm so I now have it powered through the USB port with a 5v1a power supply instead of through the main power plug. If this reboots my last attempt will be to downgrade back to 3.8 and if it still reboots I'll have to send it back. It's an element14 purchased from an online vendor.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Well it just ran for about 15 minutes and rebooted using USB power, so I'm going to reflash eMMC with original distro and try that then return if it reboots again. Will get a BBB from Adafruit although the vendor has offered to send another element14 replacement.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Hi Robert, I reflashed the original distro and it ran for about a half hour and rebooted so I have determined it is a hardware issue, (probably a grounding problem according to the vendor so perhaps there is a QC issue at element14) so I have returned the element14 BBB to the vendor for a refund and ordered a CircuitCo BBB from Adafruit. Will arrive Monday so will have it up and running on Tuesday. I plan to upgrade the kernel to 3.14.17-bone8 which is close to what you recommended for stability and long term support. I can give the 2014-09-13 image a try before kernel upgrade if you need me to test but it will be on a new BBB and not the 'problem child'. Thanks for all you hard work, makes maintaining a BBB pretty painless.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Robert, I just looked at the kernel in this image (3.8.13-bone64) and that was the first image I flashed after receiving the BBB. I had USB hot plug issues with that kernel version so I upgraded to 3.16.0. It would not recognize an external USB Hub plugged in after startup, only when plugged in at power up and would not recognize any USB devices hot plugged into the Hub. Not a problem with 3.14, 3.15, 3.16 when I was testing.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Update: I received my new BBB - a CurcuitCo version from Adafruit on Tuesday. On Wednesday I got it set up almost identical to the other one I sent back. It has 3.14.17-bone8 kernel. It rebooted/reset on Thursday at 2:15am and the physical ethernet port was down, so I had to connect via the USB port to look at syslog and see what happened. There is no entry for reboot or shutdown so it looks like a complete reset is taking place. Logs show ethernet port not coming up and dhcpclient says network unreachable I did a power down and restart and it ran fine until Friday morning and reset twice at 7:35am and almost immediately again at 7:50am. Both times it looks like during the boot sequence that network services are starting after ntpd as ntpd can't resolve hosts. dhcpclient can't find the network and retries about a half dozen times then the ethernet port finally comes up and it's back online. This is physically plugged into the same hub that my RasPi is plugged into (and has been running non-stop for over two weeks now, no issues with it whatsoever). I certainly can't use this BBB as a print and weather data server with it behaving this way so I'll keep these running on the RasPi until I can figure out why this is resetting constantly. Using a 5v 2a power supply and I've tried two different ones with the other BBB so I don't think it's a PS issue, but that doesn't leave much else to blame for random resets. Ideas and suggestions welcome. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Hi Robert, I just checked around and a Debug Cable (34M8872 FTDI TTL-232R-3V3) is $42 on eBay. I don't mind spending some time troubleshooting this but not willing to go out and invest in pieces and parts. I do have two Serial to USB cables to connect to some HAM Radio gear, but not the right header connectors. I'll upgrade to the latest 3.14 image too.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Robert, I think part of the reason ntp and dhcpclient aren't getting network connections at boot is because they are set at S03 in init and wicd is set at S06 and is last to get going. It appears that eth0 is not coming up until wicd loads? Also, the install-me.sh failed at the end with final zImage copy because it creates backups of everything and /boot (92Mb) runs out of space. I had to manually remove previous image files from /boot and /boot/uboot then run the script so it had room to install everything. Seems /boot partition is too small. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Robert, I discovered the /etc/network/interfaces issue snooping around and just set eth0 to auto load there and my total boot time is now 7s instead of 12s with all the ntp and dhcpclient retries gone. So I guess if using the install-me script, I'll have to manually remove the previous kernel files in /boot and /boot/uboot before running it so there's room. Does the .deb file install (apt-get install) also do backups? If so, it should fail as well. Looks like about 110Mb for /boot partition should be enough to hold current and backups of previous. I'm getting a ton of these in syslog at boot: kernel: [ xx.xx] unwind: Index not found bf0f4334 Also, I noticed that in a reboot it keeps the current time for all syslog boot messages, so I know it's getting a full reset randomly because the time in syslog is from /etc/timestamp (which I update every 15 minutes so I can tell when it's resetting).

Makes sense, but if apt-get doesn't work it's a good fall-back for now. I guess if I get more random resets, I'll have to spring for that serial debug cable @ $23 shipped from DigiKey.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Update: the BBB just reset again at 7:49am. That's interesting, because it reset twice yesterday at almost the same times 7:35am and 8:13am and today at 7:13am and 7:49am. cron daily runs at 6:25am and I have no ctontab jobs at those times. Appears to be some sort of pattern due to the daily reset times being so close, but there is nothing is syslog except cron.hourly until the new boot sequence starts.

Another reset early this afternoon, so I have shutdown and removed the 5v2a cheapo PS and replaced it with a Garmin 5v1a PS I have that uses the mini USB instead of the banana plug. I want to eliminate the current PS as the problem. All my PS are in two power strips plugged into an APC Battery Backup so power is conditioned, filtered, and constant. I'm spending waaa too much time with this since my RasPi has been set up same way and running 24/7 since I plugged it in with zero issues. Am I the only one with constant resets on a BBB? I'm hesitant to drop $24 on a serial debug cable that I'll use maybe two days to capture data that might or might not shed light on the issue.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
William, I'm not using any I/O at this time. Setting this up in steps. First was to get it running as a CUPS and weewx Server like my RasPi. I can 'play' with it later once it's stable. Found a cable on eBay for $6 shipped from CA using PL303HX claims 3.3v TTL. Also, no resets since 3pm yesterday when I switched PS. Maybe there is a problem with the SuperPowerSupply model KZ0502000, although the other BBB (element14) was resetting using both PS (SPS and Garmin) and even a direct USB connection. It's possible that there was a problem with both the other BBB and the SPS power supply. If it's happy with the Garmin I'll get a different 5v2a supply. I am also solar but use a hybrid Grid-Tie Outback and a Manual Transfer Switch so when we lose power, it's dark until I can get to the switch. That's why I have all my electronics (cable modem, router, Vonage, etc on a UPS.

[beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
I have now been running 22 hours without a reset - this is a first. Yesterday at 3:17pm I changed out power supplies. I also killed wicp. So now I'm suspicious of wicp as the culprit. I added 'auto eth0' in /etc/network/interfaces since I'm hard wire connected and wicp was bringing up eth0 far too late in the boot sequence so that dhclient and ntp were both looping looking for the network (which wasn't up yet) but I still had wicp starting up at boot. I suppose I can shutdown and put the other power supply back on and see what happens with wicp removed.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Update: I changed power supplies back to the 5v2a and removed wicd yesterday at 3:20pm. Ran fine until 8:42am and reset after 16hrs. This time, it didn't bring up eth0 and was unreachable. I pulled the power and powered back up, booted normally. Interesting thing is that syslog only shows the second boot on power up and not the reset reboot. Syslog was fresh at 6:25am and shows only one bootup sequence. Strange. I was hoping resets were from wicd, guess not. Problem still exists. I could deal with a single reset every day, but not when eth0 fails as my weather server uploads ftp files to my website every 15 minutes. I lost eth0 on reset back on 9/11 at 8:13am, so loss of eth0 is random in the resets. I have a Phihong Switching Power Supply 5v2a that I'm going to put on there and see if that helps, but unlikely since Thomas has lab quality power and all of his are resetting. Here's what's left in rc2.d, I have removed S06weewx for now (as well as apache2 and saned).

One other note, current Debian distro that comes with BBB has ntpdate installed.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
I just changed over to the Switching Power Supply and eth0 failed to come up on boot. I hit the reset button and a reboot brought it up. So now it seems there are eth0 issues as well as resets. Going from bad to worse. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
I had a total of 5 resets yesterday one at 8am, 5pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm using a switching power supply. Maybe I should go back to the cheapo power supply as I was only resetting once or twice a day with that one. I'll wait and see what Thomas comes up with before ordering the serial debug cable. Only thing I have changed in the last two days has been the power supply, all else is static (kernel, running daemons, attached hub). I'm going to unplug the USB HUB now and see what that does.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Mine is still resetting one to three times a day. I have moved both processes I was running on it (CUPS and weewx) over to my RasPi so it is just sitting idle except for CRON jobs. No events in serial debug logs, just a sudden reset and cold boot restart. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Had a minute or two to try machinekit, loaded onto uSD. Unfortunately, it's based on 3.8.x which doesn't support USB Hotplug so a non-starter. Also, it froze after about 3 hours so I just shut it down for now.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
Update to Reboot Issue: OK I did two things at once which from my old Beta Tester days is a no-no since you can't figure out which change made a difference. But I updated the kernel to 3.14.23-ti-r34 Then I did an apt-get update/upgrade and I noticed that dbus got upgraded in the process. Now when I hot plug a USB stick into my external 7 port hub it comes right up. Before, it wouldn't get recognized unless I had a 'constantly on' device also plugged into the hub (like a printer), so dbus upgrade 'fixed' something regarding that issue The really good news is I've been up for two days with no random reboots. New kernel or dbus? Don't know, don't care, as long as the reboot monster has been banished into the deep dark pit. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day
@William: you speak as if I was a newcomer to Linux. Truth is, I was one of the first to embrace Linux back in the 80s when I worked in Computer Services at the local University. I replaced several Windoze servers with Linux Servers and built Linux-based 'internet appliances' as we called them back then. I've probably forgotten more than most younger folks have figured out yet. So, please save your 'lecturing' for another time and place and let all of us here who are obviously less enlightened than yourself continue to figure out the reboot issue. Sharing our experiences (even if they are silly noob mistakes) all has merit in forming a picture of the issue that we as a group can evaluate and perhaps discover a solution. That's one of the great things about discussion forums such as this.

@Wulf: I see this is your first contribution to our ongoing discussion of BBB random booting. And your comment has what to do with this thread? I am free to express my opinion of M$ products AFAIK, and many many years of unfortunate experiences has molded my viewpoint, but that's a topic for a different discussion. Speaking of which, can we get back to the topic at hand, please?

I concur as I have been up and running three days now with no random reboots, so I consider this issue resolved.
