Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your reply.

RootFS getting corrupted by repeated <Ctrl+C>: Does that mean we have some known limitations / stability issues with the foundation model (or rootfs)? This was not an issue for past 6 months and has only showed up recently after I used the custom image.

So far I have generally launched the the model and used the model window itself to do build etc.. I remember having issues with doing SSH to the model from the host initially when I started using it. There was no steps mentioned in the user guide and I had tried various things without success. Few things I could do with the model were:

1. wget works

2. scp from host pc into the model works.

3. pinging an ip address from inside the model doesn't work (e.g "ping google.com" fails)

So, I don't know completely if and how to connect to the model via ssh so that I can avoid having to close a hung process by <Ctrl+c>. Could you please point me to some resource?

Thanks,

Anil

I suspect you've corrupted your rootfs by killing the model
repeatedly. Have you tried starting again with a "clean" rootfs,
built with linaro-media-create? If not, you should.

Generally, I tend to SSH into my machines to run commands, rather than
using the serial terminal. And if a command locks a session, I log in
again via SSH and kill the old one, rather than pull the plug on the
model.

This is a good place to discuss it.
