The fix hasn't been found, but progress has been made! After further testing, I think I've found a way to recreate this issue with just the router itself, no external USB HDD, no Déjà Dup backup over SFTP, and possibly no extra changes beyond a stock NBG6817 OpenWRT build (not confirmed as this router runs my home network, including SQM QoS, VLANs with another WiFi AP, etc). I've put the scripts and documentation into a dedicated repository: https://github.com/digitalcircuit/openwrt-ipq806x-qa-cpu-reset (In brief: toggling individual CPU cores between 1.75 GHz and 800 MHz) For others interested, feel free to try to recreate the issue with your own IPQ8065 routers! Possibly even IPQ806x (untested). I'll follow up here again once I've made notable progress. As part of my research, I found a minor oversight with the OPP CPU voltages, which has been fixed as of the following commit: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/9baca410644b3f0fe94e2d5b6558c9c4bf61e712 (OPP voltage triplets are <target min max>, not <min target max> like one would expect) Ansuel has offered several promising suggestions on how to potentially fix the reboot issue in the pull request for that commit: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/4464#issuecomment-903178662 In essence: * Transitioning through multiple frequencies going to/from high speeds * Forcing both CPU cores to same frequency in some/all situations * Increasing clock latency in DTS I'll explore these next! I've also determined that raising the CPU voltages by 20000 microvolts did not resolve the issue. I may revisit this with higher voltages in the future: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/compare/openwrt-21.02...digitalcircuit:openwrt-21.02-cpufreq-dtsivolt-cache-fix-opp-order (Above obsoleted by "ipq806x: fix min<>target opp-microvolt DTS mixup" being merged to "master"; I'll create a new backport branch later.) Tune in next time to find out what happens on... ...debugging with digitalcircuit! And thanks to everyone who has offered ideas, encouragement, and patience as I learn many new things.
