Also, as a general response to this thread, I've found that some extra JVM options (-Xmx50m -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError) help with OOM errors. The next release (v1.2.0) will have these by default, and allowing custom JVM arguments when deploying.

I'm running v1.2 already, so does it have these options already? I was going to change the launch code to try to tweak the memory, but if that's been done already in v1.2 it wouldn't be worth it. I see the GRIP jvm is consuming about 185-190M of the 256M of RAM. The Robot & Network programs are the next highest consumers totaling about 50-55M, so its definitely GRIP chewing up all the RAM. We've used the Beaglebone Black in the past for image processing, but really wanted to try keeping it simple and use the rio. Is there a chance v1.3 is coming out soon and addresses the memory issue?
