I have a single board computer running Debian 11. The system is running from an initrd image. This particular single board computer is known to have problems.
There is no desktop installed but a dedicated graphical application runs when the system starts. The entire computer freezes, seemingly randomly. Sometimes it freezes immediately upon startup.
I have learned that if I open a terminal (Alt-F1) and then click outside the terminal anywhere on the graphical application I can force the freeze to happen on demand.
I have another of these single board computers that has exhibited no such problem. If I open a terminal window and click outside it on this one no freeze happens. They are running the same image and the hardware is the same.
I have looked at the system logs and see no indication of anything bad happening. I suspected the Bay Trail bug, because this is running on the Bay Trail cpu, but the system already has a c-state limit of C1.
Hoping someone can give me some new ideas on how to troubleshoot this.
