Hi Brian: It is the number of writes, not the reads that I was concerned about. You used the phrase "send a streaming update to it as the motor moves" in your initial email. If you are continuously doing writes to the eMMC, then that is a long term concern. If this is just a short term demonstrator, then no problem. If this is a real product, then there are anecdotal reports of users killing the BeagleBone's eMMC after a few years of logging.
For a real good example, (of eMMC wearout, not a BeagleBone issue) read: https://insideevs.com/news/376037/tesla-mcu-emmc-memory-issue/ https://www.businessinsider.com/older-teslas-reportedly-having-issues-charging-screen-not-working-memory-2019-10 If you need a small, almost unlimited write memory that remembers with the power off, try something like an FRAM. Example of a small development board: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1897 Spec sheet says good for a trillion write cycles. Beware buying a used Tesla. :-) --- Graham == On Monday, November 18, 2019 at 8:23:55 AM UTC-6, [email protected] wrote: > > Something that can be stored and called upon at boot time to be used in a > main python function -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
