[tahoe-dev] ODROID-U2 (linux) tahoe-lafs 1.10.0 initial report

[Garonda Rodian]

How fast does the Atom blade run the trial?  I'm assuming the BeagleBone Blacks can't complete it due to lack of RAM.

Do the BeagleBone Blacks have a hardware watchdog?

Separately, how many "Every bit" verify operations have you done, and how well did they go?  

For anyone else trying an ODROID-U2, I'm using the image from 

 I found out you have to do cp /boot/boot-hdmi-1080p60hz.scr /boot/boot.scr in order to get HDMI working properly at 1920x1080.  I'm still working on getting files to it, after which I should be able to really try some intertesting!

Are there any benchmarking modes for tahoe-lafs?  I'd like to see the throughput for the encryption step, and for the zfec step, and the hashing, etc., to be able to compare setups.

This is cool! Currently I have 8 beaglebone blacks and a small Atom blade as the introducer and helper. I am looking for people to connect to my grid for testing. I even took the hard drive out of the introducer and one node formated them and put tahoe 1.10 i was able to repair the grid no prob.

My ODROID-U2, Debian Wheezy, LXFE has successfully arrived, booted from MicroSD, and run.

python setup.py build failed just after it didn't find tahoe-deps, until I installed my usual set of packages (including, but not limited to, python-dev), after which it worked fine.  

python setup.py trial succeed with 6 skipped and 2 expected failures in something over 1500 seconds, typically using 100% of one out of four cores, and the maximum amount of total RAM in use I happened to see (htop) was on the order of 561MB - since it has 2GB of RAM, that's more than fine.

Further testing to follow - I have high hopes it can serve as an introducer + storage nodes, or even a helper/client gateway.  If I can get a Gigabit USB2 card working, perhaps it'll even break the 10MB/s limit as a storage node!
