Re: ZumSpot Rebooting Occasionally on its own

Post by KN2TOD »

A couple of thoughts(speculations) come to mind here: is this evidence of a voltage (regulation) problem? (Have you changed or can you change up power sources to see if that has any effect?) Have you tried refreshing the firmware? (possibility of corruption that is encountered only in certain section of the code?) And, a really long shot here: is it possible your hotspot(s) are picking up some nearby (but powerful) interference that is effecting the overall stability of the unit(s)? Maybe something that's leaking through your power sources?

I have already built a fresh uSD card with PiStar 4.1.2 at least twice without resolving the problem. I also removed one of the Zum radio hats from the Raspberry Pi ZeroW and put it on a Raspberry Pi 3b and still see the problem. I have three ZumSpots and they are all doing it. I will try running one of them for a while off of a battery pack that i have and see how that works. Thanks for the ideas.

If the problem followed the hat from one R-Pi to another*, I'd be looking at a problem in the HAT, not Pi-Star on the R-Pi.


* NOTE: this thought assumes you have some other, NON-Zum hat which works properly...

So now I have replaced the power supply on two of them with the little Apple 15 watt white cubes and the problem looks to be still occurring (on at least one of them). Can someone tell me what the following line means?

I: 2020-06-06 15:39:38.847 MMDVMHost-20200602_Pi-Star_v4 exited on receipt of SIGTERM

This seems to be what starts it

This is a Pi ZeroW with a Zum Hat this is a different one than the one I posted before which is set up for Fusion and DSTAR.

Here is the latest log (you can see that it resets multiple times):

This SIGTERM seems to happen approximately every 8 mins 10 seconds, can't think of anything that would run on that sort of schedule.

My bad, I should have looked that up -- LINUX is not my first language, so to speak. Thanks for the </> tip. I figured there must be something like that but I couldn't figure it our. I was looking for something like "attach file"

I have built a new card image Abd programmed it from scratch, in case there was something corrupt in the backup file. I'll try it single mode next.

The hat is a ZumSpot V0.6 running firmware 1.4.17

The first line above is when MMDVM received the SIGTERM and began a clean shutdown.

OK, so how can I find out what sent the termination request? Whatever it is it is doing it every 8 minutes or so. It is doing it on two different devices, each running Pi-Star 4.1.2, (a brand new load, fresh uSD card, programed by hand, not from a previous back-up). I have tried the following:

1. Rebuilt the image from the ground up
2. Replaced the power source (twice)
3. Replaced the Raspberry Pi ZeroW with a spare Raspberry Pi 3b
4. Ran only one of them at a time (I had three near each other -- thought it might be WiFi interference)
5. Ran one in Fusion only.

I am now trying the same one in DSTAR only

In the meantime... What can be happening every 8 minutes of so?
How can I find out what is asking MMDVM to close?

OK, I have three different HotSpots, as follows:

#1 consisting of a RPi ZeroW fitted with a ZumRadio v0.4 hat (older one w/o display)
#2 consisting of a RPi ZeroW fitted with a ZumRadio v0.6 hat (w/ 1.3" OLED display)
#3 consisting of a RPi ZeroW fitted with a ZumRadio v0.6 hat (w/ 1.3" OLED display)

#2 and #3 are two separate but identical but and both do exactly the same thing. I have been running tests on both. Post 7 in the thread , Dated May 27, 9:46PM and Post 10 in the thread, Dated May 28 11:36AM are from the #3 device. The most recent data Post 61, Dated Jun 6 10:23AM is from the #2 device. I have not looked at #1 to see what it has been up to. So both #2 and #3 which are two completely different units, appear to be doing pretty much the same thing. It seems to take them a little while to get into this state.

Sorry, I missed your request before

On #2 < dmesg | grep -i volt > doesn't return anything.
On #2 < sudo vcgencmd get_throttled> Returns: throttled=0x0

On #3 < dmesg | grep -i volt > doesn't return anything.
On #3 < sudo vcgencmd get_throttled> Returns: throttled=0x0

This may be a bit irrelevant since at neither of them have begun misbehaving yet. I'll grab these again once one or the other of them acts up.

Once again, thanks for your patience and help.
