Beaglebone Black Rebooting Several Times Every Day

Forgot a 3.8.13 BeagleBone on in the lab for awhile… 71 days…

root@beaglebone:~# uptime

18:28:40 up 71 days, 23:13, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05

root@beaglebone:~# uname -a

Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone56 #11 SMP Thu Aug 28 15:32:27 PDT 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

Yes, first Unix then Linux.

Let’s split mouse turds by the halves, shall we?

@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?

Out side of v3.8.x it should be fixed with:

v3.14.23-ti-r34
v3.18.0-rc5-bone1

Regards,

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

Thanks Robert C,

Signing Off, Over and Out

That’s good, but what has caused the random rebooting? Can one fix it without updating to v3.14.23-ti-r34. Or in other words how can I fix it with the v3.12.9 if it’s possible?

Jiri Slaby backported it to kernel.org's: v3.12.39..

So upgrade...

Regards,

Can I upgrade the kernel like

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-3.12.40

or do I have to do it manually like described here → https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone#BeagleBone-LinuxKernel

or did you have something completely different in mind?
