EDIT #2
Well I think the emmc module was in cause. I just installed arch on a microsd card instead, and I still haven't noticed any such issue.
Plus, running fsck on the emmc partition resulted in errors, that stayed even after having fsck fix them. A few experiments later, and now the emmc don't even register the correct size, fdisk only shows a 1GB disk. :-S
Hello,
I am having a lot of isses with my new Odroid-C1. In particular, it sometimes reboots by itself.
I noticed that it mostly happens in "intense" tasks, such as updating the system or opening a new xfce session. It is not deterministic though, as tasks that were running during a reboot sometimes complete successfully.
Sometimes, the board reboots, and then reboots again before I even get to see a login prompt. I have seen this happen up to 3 times in a row.
I tried to look at some logs, as returned by journalctl, but finds no mention of an error at all, just the line -- Reboot -- here and there. I ran journalctl -f from ssh, but the last messages before a reboot were never really the same.
I am using the official 5V 2A charger bought with the Odroid itself. I am running an up-to-date version of Arch installed on a 16GB emmc chip.
I measured the voltage between a ground and a 5V GPIO, and I got 5.02V quite consistently. The 3.3V gpio indicated 3.25V.
This did not seem to change while running a benchmark.
The board is laid on a piece of textile without obvious cause for short-circuits.
These random reboots are seriously handicaping - do you think the board is faulty? Should I send it back?
EDIT: Here are some journalctl messages I got just before a reboot:
