Hi,

 

My Armbian Vanilla  for Cubieboard1 is working las 2 months...

 

Theres is an iissue with I2c, that I don't know how  to avoid or stop

 

 

Dmesg and syslog are flooded with this message

 

Feb  7 11:09:05 localhost kernel: [172015.158063] i2c i2c-0: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x34, len=2

And as result it is very difficult to read any warning  message on log.

 

Is there any way to stop this?

 

My Cubieboard 1  works as file and print server.

Thanks

 

 

 

If you don't want to filter /var/log/messages why not discarding the I2C messages (they originate from the AXP209 PMU in your case)? See http://www.rsyslog.com/discarding-unwanted-messages/  for example.

 

Something like 

:msg, contains, "i2c-0: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x34, len=2" ~

should work.

This was an issue with kernel 4.2.2 (i2c debug messages were enabled in configuration), I would strongly suggest to make a backup and upgrade to a latest mainline kernel.
