After some time, the kernel stopped running.
After re-uploading it starts correctly.
What could be the reason?

Industrial temperature grade DDR3 timings, 64bit bus width.

What exact software versions of things are you talking about?

I am experiencing this on imx7 1G with torizon’s latest warrior branch commit.
We use a custom designed Carrier Board with the reference design of the 3.3V rail. The voltage is oscilloscoped stable and not supicious in switching moments.

The OS is slightly adopted via device tree gpio modifications.

I have seen this on 3 out of 40 modules occouring sporadically during reboots under operation.
Onece happend the module cannot be reactivated.

Is anything known to this behavior?

How would i debug further?

Is this SW or HW related?

hi @m.telian

Could you ask a new question, please? Thanks.
