  • I didn’t know you can get that, so maybe I’ll use it in a design…

    Now under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be an issue. There are literally billions of devices running Linux from an eMMC chip. But any competent embedded Linux developer would take the steps necessary to make sure the operating system’s various log files are not being written to a non-replaceable storage device soldered onto the board

    Unfortunately, for reasons that still remain somewhat unclear, the build of Linux running on the MCU is doing exactly that. What’s worse, Tesla’s graphical interface appears to be generating its own additional log messages. Despite the likelihood that nobody will ever actually read them, for every second a Tesla is driving down the road, more lines are being added to the log files.

    wow now reading this that’s so f*cking stupid.

    Or, if we’re being honest, why are we using eMMC on a car? It’s not exactly a rock solid storage solution and does not inspire confidence when used on a vehicle of all things. Use an mSATA SSD or something, at least. The freaking car is 50 grand or more and they’re too cheap to even have a proper SSD?

    idk I wouldn’t drive one of those things anyways. I just know where eMMCs can be useful.
