Topic: C8 rebooting

I recently bit the bullet and subscribed to resurrect my Classic and C8.
Sitting here at work today and have noticed at least twice, my C8 has rebooted.
My channel loads fine once it reboots.

I do have my channel loaded up with 50 widgets - could this be causing a memory issue?

Re: C8 rebooting

Is it rebooting, or is the control panel just dying and restarting?

My c8 kills the control panel and it restarts.

Cleaning up any loose bits and bytes.

Re: C8 rebooting

It could be a bad power supply.

If it's rebooting, that's a possibility.

However, as far as I know, the C8 power supplies were pretty reliable.

Cleaning up any loose bits and bytes.

I have not been able to catch it in time to see exactly, but I did see the control panel reloading.  What made me notice was my I Hart Radio stops streaming, then i see control panel loading.

So i guess it is not "rebooting" actually.

it's at my office and i'm off today, but i will look more closely on Monday.

Is the C8 killing the control panel a known issue?

thanks!

Let's eliminate a possible cause - please reload the firmware per the instructions here: http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?pid=49026#p49026

Duane - it was already at 1.8.2  - should I flash it again?

Control Panel Version = 5.0.38b2
SW Version = 1.8.2
Firmware = 1.8.3883
model = 9.9

thanks!

Re: C8 rebooting

Yes, please flash it again.  I have seen examples of firmware corruption where the device seemingly acts normally but occasionally does something weird.  Flashing also has the side effect of resetting some things.

Just flashed it.
I also has to apply the SSL fix for a few of my apps to work (flickr and threatpost).

I'll watch it for a bit.

Thanks again.

this appears to have resolved the issue.  Thanks
