[solved] Pocket/RCORE in reboot loop state

Hi, since this morning my Pocket reform is loop rebooting. I’ve managed it to boot a couple of times out of dozens of tries though. It reboots before login prompt is shown.

This log file contains the boot messages taken on serial port.

Has anybody seen something simliar?

System controller and keyboard firmwares are up-to-date as of today. The log file is from the latest the official OS image (as of today) on a sdcard trying to boot.

SOLVED:

now it boots again. One thing I noticed, this morning the OLED did not show the system voltage/current consumption while the computer was trying to boot, with the kernel and systemd paiting lines of text into the screen.

Now it boots and also voltage/current info is shown on the OLED. Don’t really know if this has any relation.

Earlier this week I did a reform-check, which suggested executing the command to update the boot files, don’t recall which was, maybe reform-flash-boot? Also, this was done from an up-to-date Debian stable image. But I know I could use my Pocket yesterday.

Also, last thing I did yesterday was scripting writes to the keyboard leds using XRGB messages to hidraw. May have I fried something doing this?

Thank you for testing also with the official system images from MNT. This is a good default to try out first. Also great that you are able to capture the serial output. Unfortunately I don’t really see anything interesting in it.

I assume the reboots happen with full battery while you are connected to AC power?

Thank you Josch for taking a look.

The computer was not charging while this was happening. I hope it never happens again, but if it does I’ll take a closer look into the OLED behaviour.
