First impressions after 32 days

[jacobnavia]

This small machine stayed up for more than 32 days. After 32 days it started acting, for instance:

cp ../lcc .

would get an error message from cp: No destination specified.

I decided to reboot (unplugged everything took power off...), so the longest time this machine has been running without reboot for me is around 32 days. 

What is the record time?

I used it heavily during those days, it was a very good development system, I used it through ssh from my macintosh. I setup a gui receiver in the mac, and the screen was quite OK. The small circuit sent all the screen to the mac without a hitch.

But for heavy development work you do not need GUIs... anyway.

All the network seemed to work without any problem. Linux works.

I attached a hard drive, but with usb 2.0 there wasn't any speed improvement. Even with an ssd drive it would be around the same. But it worked, and the drive was seen correctly by the system.

The system comes with git, and it worked without any problems with the git server I set up in the mac.

Thanks to the people that built this circuit, it is quite good.

I have no idea;  however, my PineA64-1 ( debian ) has been up 150 days and used as primary desktop every day - heavily - and my PineA64B-2 ( ubuntu server ) has been up 130 days and used constantly.

My systems are UPS'd and barring a catastrophe of some kind I do not expect them to go down ( trying to keep them up one year )

Well, development work is heavy on the machine, much more than web browsing or document handling... My programs are crashing very often, I use heavily the network, generate executables maybe not quite OK, I am developing a compiler, i.e. a code generator. I use the standard tools, but then, when I start programs generated by my generator the system could suffer...

:-!

For me that this small machine resisted that for 32 days is quite an accomplishment really. Besides, bugs could be introduced by micro sd cards that are of bad quality... A reboot in this conditions is not really bad at 32 days. You are surely a more regular user and the machine can stay up forever... Well, you have 150 days isn't it?

I find that incredible for such a small machine.

Could it develop to a personal computer?

One that you can carry in your pocket and has a phone in it, a GPS, and a lot of high speed connections. It carries all your music and photos, all the digital books you bought, always readily available. It can do documents, spreadsheets, browse the internet, all a personal computer would do. An evolution of the phone.

A personal computer, not a phone.

Yes, certainly the PineA64 board can be a personal computer;  I have been using my debian unit for that purpose ( desktop machine ) since I installed it early last fall.  I use my machine for hardware and software prototyping, software research and development, and all the normal uses for which desktop PC(s) are employed. 

I do have one small baby problem which has to be monitored ;  the midori browser which I'm using has a memory leak ( its not bad, but its really annoying ).  If I don't keep the tabs reasonable, and if I don't stop and restart the browser once in  a while, the machine will crash due to memory constraint. 

Other than that, the pine board has been fabulous as a personal computer. On the other hand, I DO NOT use my pine boards as media centers; other than standard browsing the web. I don't even play many youTube(s). As a media center the gnu+linux pine board is limited ( very limited ).

But, as an actual desktop computer ( and I do mean power user ) its fabulous !

The Pine board I use to stream internet radio and OpenHAB had an uptime of 183days. Last restart was a kernel update...
