Hey there, last week my 5b finally arrived. I explored it a bit using the provided Debian Image, and it worked fine for the time. Yesterday I installed the armbian image(because i need ffmpeg with hardware decoding[and would love encoding as well]), which did work at first, but then I noticed that about 5 minutes after booting it would stop and become unresponsive. When attaching a screen and keyboard to it, I wouldnt get any output. After rebooting, it would work for another 5-10 minutes, then silently die again.
Now I started it up and attached a screen from the beginning, just to realize it starts up, keeps complaining from the r8152 driver: get_registers: -71 - those messages pop up every couple seconds on the terminal, I guess thats something to do with the networking, still it works. However after the 5-10 minute timeframe has passed, the rock 5B just displays a dark green on the screen and stops responding… I rebooted to reproduce and kept watching, there is no error message or anything. Where could the issue be? Could it be a power issue?
As for the IO:
I am powering the board with a USB-Type C Docking Station/hub, connected to my 65W USB PD power supply from my asus ultrabook(it wont work with the asus power supply plugged in directly), the dock is rated for 60W (its a renkforce thing). I have 2 external SSDs connected via usb, one in a USB 3 Enclosure connected to USB3, the other in a USB3 Enclosure but only connected with a USB 2.0 cable, to limit the max power draw(if it cant read or write at full speed, it cant use max power, right) Apart from that its only connected to a 1GBit Ethernet switch.
Any ideas / suggestions where I could find information on how to get this working?
Btw, I looked at the logs in /var/log after rebooting, whatever happens happens without a warning and quick enough to prevent the kernel/syslog to put it into the logs before freezing)
