In that case it could also be the mipsel libc bug.

Is it identified?Reproducible code?

 

On vuduo2 I only got two-three occasional freezes back in may/june with dev images, frozen with the spinning wheel.

I got access with ssh but the logs were full of normal crap. Did not investigate but seems enigma2 issue.

 

It did happen on channel switch, probably from terrestrial to sat or zapping back and forth

(BTW I remember similar weirdness with vusolo and USB external DTT tuner years ago).

 

Since then the dev images have never freezed, neither during recordings.

If not enigma2, the most probable reason here is overheating, hardware was really hot.

For sure? We don't know yet. But there were some mipsel related fixes that were backported by @rantanplan.

 

Still waiting for the develop build to finish, a libc patch means everything is going to be rebuild from scratch, taking up to 2 hours per image (and we're at 100 images at the moment)...

I have reviewed the libc patch and it has nothing to do with our issues, unfortunately. One of our issues has to do with pthread manipulation functions that take or return a bitmap and the result is just bogus on MIPS. On ARM it just works correctly.

 

Maybe if we move on from OE Zeus (where this issue first appeared) the problem disappears just like that.

I don't read PM -> if you have something to ask or to report, do it in the forum so others can benefit. I don't take freelance jobs.
Ik lees geen PM -> als je iets te vragen of te melden hebt, doe het op het forum, zodat anderen er ook wat aan hebben.
