Hi, I am using Rock64 computers for a product and a few of them are failing in the field.  The symptom is that the computers lock up with a kernel panic (kernel paging request fail) and then do nothing until a power reset is performed.  It seems that the problem is memory related as we have started running memory tests on them and some of them fail the memory tests in as little as 5 minutes or less.  We have tried it with the 1 GB Rock64’s and also with the 2GB Rock64’s and they all exhibit the same failure issues.

Has anyone come across these issues? And is there any workaround or fix for it??

I've been running armbian on mine without issue, but you might end up having to adjust the RAM frequency on problem boards.
