It's probably not too horrible to find in another OS's driver if there's
one known to support it (as opposed to the vendor's own driver which
was a right mess last time I looked). Probably easier than finding a
vendor contact willing and able to give out information.

Ok.  I have another APU.1C that I can experiment with now.  Guess I 
could try one of the other BSDs to see about jumbo frames and the link

There is a new version of BIOS for the APU. It's dated Jul 08, 2014.  It 
doesn't solve the LED issue though. I don't recall seeing a link LED blink. All 
I've seen is amber, yellow, green or not lit. I've seen the activity LED blink 
at a constant rate when the NIC port was attached to a switch port that's 
configured as a trunk port.

The pcengines support forum also has a link to the coreboot source code for the 
APU. It looks like it requires the Sage EDK to compile though.  Bummer.  I'm 
not that great a C programmer, so I guess it doesn't matter.

I would try to replace the aluminium sheet with a copper one. It would be also 
good to make it thicker, in order to avoid thermal pads and use thermal paste 
instead (to additionally lower thermal resistance). Finally, increasing the area 
of this sheet would also help, preferably to cover the entire bottom of the box.

One of the best pads around are Fujipoly [1] with thermal conductivity 
of 17 W/mK.


These made a big difference on several laptop workstations that were 
having overheating issues.


Some default pads are good enough, but in some cases thermal 
conductivity is a problem and you just need a better pad.

That's what the thermal pads are for. Going from 6W/mK to 17W/mK will
conduct more heat to the sink, but the sink might need to be larger
for some situations. Also even pressure around the pads is going to be
critical as the box's designer says.

Yes. Either the pads if they are thin enough, or a dot of grease to
fill in the air gaps between sink and case. But I don't have one of

Considering the way the heat spreader adheres to the bottom of the case (the

way of air gaps. But in my case, I guess because of how cool my basement is, 
heat isn't really a concern.

Mine runs cooler if it's standing on its edge vertically, it just seems

No, this seems to be common.  I managed to lower the temperature a
little by rising the case legs, so that there's better air circulation
below it.  Room temperature makes a big difference too.

Mine sits in my basement on a shelf with the modem, switch, etc and it 
idles right around 57-58C, with an average load of around 0.2.

I have two DNS/NTP/DHCP servers running on APUs in a cooled datacenter 
environment.
Unbound has caching turned up but the CPU usage is still tiny. (I don't think 
I'd
see any difference with an ALIX vs the APU.)
 
# sysctl hw.sensors 

hw.sensors.km0.temp0=59.50 degC

# sysctl hw.sensors 
  
hw.sensors.km0.temp0=64.00 degC

They both started up at 61.5 after 10 minutes or so. This is after several days.

If you cover the top with more APUs it sits higher than 70.

I bet if you put it upside down (where the heatsink joins the case would face
up) then the temp will stay cooler.

The heatsink pads that PC Engines ships to connect the CPU and chipset to the
heatsink and case are rated at 6 W/mK. 

You could buy ones that are rated at 17 W/mK to get greater heat dissipation.

 (I'm not sure that better pads are enough.)

The pads are rated for a specific thickness. If they thick, the data
is going against you.

If you need better cooling, the case needs aditional fins and it
should be mechanical precise in order to be able to use thinner silk
pads.

In passive cooling, to get decent temperatures for the chip with a low
surface heatsinks, 5 Watts is a real challenge (from my experience).

61.5C here at 0.14 load, but I flipped the case upside down so the
heatsink faces upwards.  Still gets up to 67C on a hot day.

pathetically slow that 'noatime' on fliesystem mounts makes a noticeable

has some large waiting time with this random, old SD card.

Plextor M5M (msata) works fine so far. I have regular SATA X110 models
that work on intel ahci, but the 32GB msatas are really funky on this amd
ahci. Either I got a batch of bad ones or there are some workarounds
necessary.  

Plextor M5M is already unavailable so I'm going to replace my bad
X110s with M6M. A crapshoot.

msata is just a smaller form factor for sata, so if sandisk's x110
part has a general compatibility issue, i'd imagine it would show up
everywhere.

Just to shut down the x110 msata properly, I have to do
sync; sleep 1; sync; reboot

OpenBSD 5.5 on mSATA SSD unit in PC Engines APU.1C - bad dir ino 2 at offset 0: mangled entry kernel panic

2014-06-07 Thread JB M
I'm having troubles installing OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64) on a mSATA SSD card (
http://pcengines.ch/msata16a.htm) PC Engines APU.1C device (
http://pcengines.ch/apu.htm) with the most recent BIOS version.

I've made several attempts, using install55.fs copied to an SD card, with
both 5.5-release and 5.5-current (June 6th snapshot).

Most attempts have failed, either during the install (filesystem creation
phase or during the sets extraction phase) or during the first boot after
the initial install (case reported in this message).

I wonder if I have a faulty SSD unit.

In any case, here's my dmesg:

Does the mSATA drive have the new firmware, or is it one of the 
problem drives from earlier?


If you have a null modem serial cable handy, you could try PXE booting 
and then installing the OS to the SD Card instead of the mSATA drive to 
at least rule out any other issues.  Then try the same process and 
install to the mSATA card and see if you have the same problem again.

Same thing for me with :

Installing on a USB drive solved the problem.
