Jetson TK1 from First Choice Keeps Failing

[billbo911]

What happens if you do not load the custom program? Does the Jetson remain stable then?

Thanks for the reply. It continues to fail even if our custom program doesn't run. Our vision program doesn't write out to the hard disk.

We are powering it through the provided wall wart power supply which came with the Jetson.

I have re-flashed it 3 times, using the Jetson 2.0 with the same issue. I have tested our program on another Jetson TK1 which does not fail at all, and runs for hours without auto remounting to a read-only drive.

Try running 'fsck' on the root filesystem as root.
# fsck -f /dev/root

When the error occurs, the fs will already be mounted read only.
The -f flag should force a check even though its an ext4 fs.

We had pretty bad luck with the reliability of the TK1. At one point, we had 2 that flat out refused to boot. I'd be careful if you decide to run this on your robot

Ouch...

We have not had those issues. Would highly recommend putting them in a case of some sort though. We also ran ours off of the VRM last year if that helps.

The TX1 is proving to be more of a challenge however... It seems very prone to power fluctuations.
