Frequent segfaults etc. while compiling

[mfritsche]

what happens if you underclock the CPU and use conservative governor?:
sudo cpupower -c 4,5 frequency-set -u 1.80GHz
sudo cpupower -C all frequency-set -g conservative

Thank you! It took

Code:

sudo cpupower -c 4,5 frequency-set -u 1.0GHz
sudo cpupower -c 0,1,2,3 frequency-set -u 0.8GHz

to actually work, but work it did finally.

good to know, but confirms faulty hardware. any word from pine?

what are your temps? for context i build... a lot... often for hours at 65C without issue.

i added a cpupower config script to pbp-tools with this and similar testing in mind. or just set a profile and be done with it.

I didn't contact them. I didn't check yet if there are replacement parts available; did anyone try to replace the mainsoc yet?

By the way, pinetemp.sh does not report more than 52C on the CPU when the segfaults start. Unloading bcrmfmac and using a USB-Ethernet Adapter definetly helps in deferring the crashes. I tried to test with an armhf image to see if that's more stable, unfortunately, the default debian image crashed on upgrade and didn't work after that, and it was time for bed then...
