Robert, I'm using a 5V/2A power supply, and have tried the same process with the identical setup across multiple boards (same power supply, same uSD). I'm not seeing the power supply dip below 5V at all during the flashing process; it's steady at 5.20V throughout the process. Maybe that's on th

Thanks for your help. I'm now trying to re-flash the eMMC, but every time I try, after a few minutes all LEDs blink in what looks like an error pattern (two short blinks then pause). I tried using the same uSD to flash another board, which worked fine. Attached is the serial output from the fa

That would be my guess. Yes, making it read only will help. Or attach a battery that can keep it powered up until shutdown can occur, and have the kernel shut it down. A lot of discussion in the forum on this topic. Gerald On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 1:17 PM, wrote: > So you are implying this is a

So you are implying this is a corrupt filesystem issue? I won't be able to guarantee power failures won't occur during runtime for this application, but if this is a corruption issue I don't have a problem making the root partition read-only. Chris On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 2:09:20 PM

Also the u-boot messages seem mangled. Not sure what would cause that -- if it's a problem with my serial connection I would expect to see further mangling once the kernel starts to boot, and on the initramfs prompt, but that all seems intact. On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 2:01:09 PM UTC-5,
