KERNEL CRASHES WITH RASPBERRY PI ZERO W

[David Hitchins]

Hello all,

After battling for a week trying to get MOTION to work on both the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and the Pi Zero W I only succeeded in getting a stable system on the PI3.

So I tried MotionEye  on both these little beasts (installing the recommend versions on each - different) and again it worked fine on the Pi 23b+ but the same
crash occurs on the Pi Zero W.

The screen fills with an endlessly running line of kernel error messages which I strongly suspect are due to a bug in Motion, not MotionEye. Or are they?

I couldn't capture the lines as text but a screenshot is attached.

Any idea how this problem can be fixed or what is causing it?

The crash seems to be triggered mainly when movement is detected, not so much while the frame is static.

As I say, works fine with the Pi 3+.

I used the same Raspberry pi camera on both boards and the same power supply (recommended 5.1 volts one)

Thanks

David Hitchins

What type of camera are you attaching? Any other devices attached to the USB port? Do the Pi's fire up and work for any brief period of time before the kernel errors show up? If they do, you should be able to access one of the many log files that MotionEye generates. Are you running the most up to date version of the software?

Could be your camera's or SD Card causing the issue.

I have 5 PiZero W and 1 PiZero with a Wi-Fi dongle, and all use the standard Pi Camera's. These have all been running for the last 3 months with no down time. A few restarts over that time due to changing various settings. They were all running the update from the January time frame, and have just all been recently updated to the most up to date version of the software. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 that runs as the central hub.

I tend to ask a lot of a pi....asking it to both stream video and write high quality videos. The Zero and ZeroW when doing that had very high cpu loading. I was using Pi2B outdoors and they were freezing up, swapped into pi3B and they seem to really work nice so far. In the case of the Pi2B I did not dig much deeper than seeing they had frozen up. Using the V2 Rpi camera in all cases.

Hi David Hitchins!

I would like ask you if your system with RPi0W work good. I have same problem, and have'nt idea of problem.

Thanks advance.

You could have a bad pi0?  I had kernel crashes on a new 0 (but it couldn't even finish booting) which were fixed with a replacement 0

I dont think this, i have 22 Pi0W, and they crashes in ~30minutes or 3days random.

I disabled some processes, for reduces chances of crashes:

sudo systemctl disable sound.target

sudo systemctl disable triggerhappy.service

sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service

sudo systemctl disable apt-daily-upgrade.timer

sudo systemctl disable apt-daily.timer

sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service

sudo systemctl disable bthelper.service

sudo systemctl disable getty@.service

sudo systemctl disable hciuart.service

sudo systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd.service

sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon

sudo systemctl disable triggerhappy.socket

sudo systemctl disable cron.service

sudo systemctl disable temp_monitor.service

sudo systemctl disable nfs-client.target

sudo systemctl disable remote-fs.target

sudo systemctl disable rpi-display-backlight.service

sudo systemctl disable raspberrypi-net-mods.service

sudo systemctl disable console-setup.service

sudo systemctl disable dbus-org.bluez.service

sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service

Basicaly run only picamera application, wifi service and apache with fixed address IP.

I would like of compare settings with one that work good.
