SBC4 stuck doing a boot loop

Post by aromero »

Hello, I recently got a SBC4 and am having an issue with the SBC4 being stuck on a boot loop when both the ethernet cable and a USB wireless adapter (RT5370) are connected. It didn't have that issue before but it started randomly doing it today for some reason. I also noticed this occurred when a USB drive was plugged into the SBC4 as well. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue before. I know in regular computers you can disable boots from USB through their bios but I don't know if the SBC4 has a bios.

Thanks

If you connect an HDMI monitor, can you see what it's doing? The SBC does have bootloader that will print some things to screen before booting the kernel. I wouldn't expect USB devices to affect booting, but it could be a power issue. Make sure you're using a big enough power supply to power the SBC as well as any connected devices.
