I recently had one random selected BBB sourced from Embest in the clima chamber at -40°C and it started and operated flawlessly within these conditions. I was somehow surprised by myself a little bit. -- Günter (dl4mea) -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You

I'm sorry to say, but now I confirmed my assumption. In my application I am heavily using /dev/ttyO5 and moderatly using /dev/ttyO2. One of my BB-White is stable on 4.1.0-rc8-bone9 since 38 days now. I don't want to touch this. I was running a BB-White (bb589b) with 4.1.0-rc8-bone9 for 2 days

I don't want to say that I am 100% sure with my findings, as I need some more testing done before, but it might be that they suffer from a problem on BB-White. Together with my application, which heavily uses the ttyO5 and moderately uses ttyO2, I have one BB-White up running 4.1.0-rc8-bone9

This is what I can add for now, please note the uptime of the first, which is up since 8 days. These are 3 BB-Black from the very first production of Embest, probably there was a different PMIC? I should get 16 out of the April Embest production (which were stored at a different location)

The u-boot programming (see uEnv.txt or stop during boot and say printenv) will show you that it first probes if there is a bootable SD card inserted and in such a case it boots from SD card. If you don't want this, you need to change settings in uEnv.txt Am Freitag, 29. Mai 2015 12:37:08

Make sure the ttyO4 driver is loaded via the device-tree (use the dtb-rebuilder if needed), and setup the pin multiplexing with the installed-by-default universal overlay. The intent is to provide user-mode control of pin multiplexing so you should be able to enable just the Rx/Tx pins
