My Pine A64+ (2GB RAM) is experiencing issues:
* The board occasionally crashed (
) while only running boinc seti@home and nothing else (idle from interactive user activity).
* Cold booting (as opposed to reboot while running) after a crash, at first, always succeeded.
* Then, after a few months, it would take an unplugging and count to 10 seconds before re-plugging in for a cold boot to succeed.
* Then, after a few days, I needed to wait a few hours - usually overnight.
* Finally, I give up!
After experiencing this and hearing the stories of others, I have come to the conclusion that the initial product offering (2016) had an unreliable production line. I have seen this before with other electronics manufacturers. Either they get quality under control soon enough or they eventually get abandoned by the market.
My board is heading for the responsibly-recycling center. Lesson learned.
