Interesting.
As you know (but for reference for other people) the baud rate of the rock pi
4's serial console is 1,500,000bps and not the usual 115,200bps that
everything else uses.
I have *always* seen instability on the console. The best way to reproduce
this instability is with the following test:
root@rock-pi-4:~# cd /
root@rock-pi-4:/# ls -lR
This never lasts more than a second or two before freezing up.
The ironic thing is, before applying this patch I thought I'd give the latest
of everything a test (I don't test every change every day on my board).
With all the latest software but before applying your patch, I just went
through 5 cycles of:
- reboot
- ls -lR
I didn't see a single freeze-up on the console! I've never seen the console
survive the ls -lR thing, nevermind 5 in a row.
Weird.
I did, however, recently change the device I'm using to supply my USB-C power.
I had noticed my last power supply was flaky, my local computer shop had some
new fandangled ones on sale, so I upgraded.
In any case I'm happy to apply the patch, if it solves a problem for you then
others are likely to bump into it as well. But interesting nonetheless.
Best regards,
Trevor
