I've been using javAPRSsvr on a BeagleBone Black and have found the same thing. I use a TNC-X via USB, and maybe get about 2 - 4 weeks until it flakes out. However even with a powered USB hub, usually mine also fails out eventually with a lost USB device and I have to reboot the BBB to get it to talk to the USB port again (I've seen this on a BB and a BBB, so doubt a bad board.)
I have been really curious to try out the TNC-X Pi board, just need to find a nice case for it (I saw a red one, but didn't like it) :) However, I do like the BBB as Ubuntu on the eMMC is considerably faster than the SD card on the Pi's I've got. -Mike KB1MTS On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 9:26 PM, Lee Bengston <[email protected]>wrote: > On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 4:46 PM, Ray Wells <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Lee, > > > > A quick update on my RPi's. > > > > The adsb unit is about to tick up 22 days and for the aprs gateway unit > > with dixprs it's 18 days. > > > > I'm finally starting to have confidence in the Pi for my 24/7 radio > > applications. > > > > Ray vk2tv > > > > > Sounds good, Ray.
