Dear sirs,
We are working in a new project with a beaglebone black as main control system.
Our first difficult is wich OS or software arquitecture used to prevent system corruption for multiple “not controlled shutdowns” (the system will work inside a machine and the way to turn it off is cut electrical source) Battery backup system is not a valid choice for us.
RAM OS? More ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah use a little pacakge called "overlayroot" newer image have it
installed by default..
If you dont:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install overlayroot
Then make sure to regenerate the initrd..
sudo update-initramfs -uk `uname -r`
Then in /boot/uEnv.txt append this variable to your existing cmdline settings.
cmdline=(existing settings) overlayroot=tmpfs
Then reboot, your system is now "Read Only"..
So Beyond that, what's really really nice about overlayroot, you can
login and actually write stuff to the drive by doing:
sudo overlayroot-chroot
Regards,
or you can use buildroot with read-only fs.
but ultimately we have made one 18650 lithium battery-backed UPS.
when power is out, gracefully shutdown and when power is good, start the am335x. giving us peace of mind.
