My advice to Erik is that, if he has something important to do, to go back to an official release. He should use a "Beta" release only if he can afford the additional problems it might bring, and in this case there are some. In my application for the BBB, I do not use or want to use the USB connector. The previous kernels worked fine with the +5V power. Although the +5V versus USB power behavior could be an important clue to what the problem is.
== When you say "powered by USB" are you also running the USB g_multi interface to a PC and engaging the driver in the PC? Or, are you just powering it via the USB connector and not using/engaging the USB subsystem in the BBB? I think there are (at least) two variables here. I will go power my BBB via the USB connector, which will power the Vusb line, but without any USB activity on the USB connector and see what happens. I agree that systemd is not the likely problem, since kernel 3.14 uses systemd, and works fine, USB or +5V connector. My personal observation is that the less the BBB is doing, the more likely the self-reboot is to happen. If I turn off the four blinking blue LEDs, with the BBB not doing anything else, the reboots seem to happen more often. So, if you are powering the USB connector from a computer, it may be the USB activity, not the power source that is changing the behavior. --- Graham == On Sun, Jul 19, 2015 at 10:11 AM, William Hermans <[email protected]> wrote: > Graham, thats where you're wrong.
