Anyone else experiencing the following on Odroid N2?:
After a few days the system has very slow response or not accesible at all! When changing a switch the switch is set in the frontend but the command to the Zwave,zigbee or RF is send after 10 to 15 seconds.
Another problem is that its losing connection to all usb devices after some time.
Als rebooting isn’t very stable. Every now and then it hangs on USB_POWER_EN: disabling.
No movement after that. Will have to cycle power fysically to get it to boot again.
Hardware :
Odroid N2
Samsung evo plus 256gb sd

I abandoned the Odroid N2 because it’s highly unstable. All commands take 10 to 15 seconds to execute no matter what. Random lockups. Reboots lockups. USB connections lost ( ERRNO 5) and so on.
I’m done. Same hardware on a Raspberry Pi3 works flawless so it isn’t the hardware that;s connected. I think the Homeassistant on Odroid N2 is very immature even for a beta.
The reboot problems occured right from the start so even below HassOS 4.6. Response on these problems: 0
The rest of the instability and weird problems occured when upgrading to higher HassOS. I think there are too few users of an Odroid N2 to take the problems serious since not many users are reporting problems. I need a stable setup because of a security system and the only way to go is a NUC in that case.
Too bad, it could have been a good platform but overall stability even the Odroid N2 itself is very bad. Like i said …i’m done with it.
And it’s not only a problem with USB connections. Also Google home TTS commands are send after 10-15 seconds so it’s an overall problem
On HassOS 4.6 the Odroid N2 is super stable for me and has fast responses. It is indeed a beta platform still so if stability is what you need I would not yet go there. If you want to tinker and play with it and expect to have to reinstall things then it is a nice platform. I am not regretting it yet.
Let me guess, you are working with an emmc?
I’m running it on a 256gb Samsung EVO Plus SD-card and from day 1 i had troubles with HA. First minor like: Not able te reboot without a hang on boot. Well that was something that was annoying but i thought : Hey, they will fix it. But after every update the problems were getting worse. And NO USB SSD support( boot ) and no answers about that. It was an obvious decision to quit the Odroid N2 way.
I’ve received my NUC a few days ago. Did a supervised install on Ubuntu and restored the backups. Everything is running fast and stable. No delays, no hangups, no USB problems.
I’ll leave the Odroid-N2 on my desk. Maybe someday i will try again…but i doubt it.
Unfortunately I had been struggling also with the USB ports on the N2 when I’ve built a media and tv server with usb tuners.
It seems it’s not stable when handling high bandwidth transfers.
You can find several threads regarding it. https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=36136&start=50 https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=35031&start=300
There were serveral attempted fixes, mostly by reorganizing the CPU affinity and the governor, but for me it never really fixed the problem. So it could be as it’s still not fixed and never will.
