Jetson TK1 from First Choice Keeps Failing

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.
