Usually occures when write to SD often. Same problem mentioned in the forum by many others. Suggestion to change SD card. Sometimes could help. writing "reboot" does not help need to unplug power cable This bug means that Foxboard is not suitable for long runs, but only for education. Besides that can not compile new kernel modules (drivers) as Kernel headers source is not available for download. NanosG20 is better than Foxboard in that way. RAM only 64 MB. Nanos could have 128MB. But Nanos has its own bugs. So best is to use a netbook with Ubuntu (15W powercons.). --------------------------------------------------------- Power consumption 0.5 W no ethernet 0.7 W with ethernet 1.4 W with Logitech c250 1.6 W with Logitech C510 webcam & wifi 8188 2.2W no ethernet webcam & 8188 1.7 W Edimax micro wlan - no driver, could not compile From Developers: Unfortunately, I have not yet had time to experience the power down on the fox but we have the have the energy saving in out minds. We are designing a new FOX version that can turn down also the USB power lines (see www.acmesystems.it/?id=FOXG20-V2). I'll be happy to send you a board for free when it will be ready :-) Some ideas about USB power saving, not tried: echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb5/power/level echo suspend | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/power/level
