Hello, I have an Orange Pi PC with Armbian. I like the distribution very much, but I face a strange problem. After around 5 minutes of use I cannot longer open applications. When I switch to tty I see the following error:

end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 3477952
mmcblk0: timed out sending r/w cmd command , card status 0xe00
mmcblk0: not retrying timeout

At first I thought the problem was in the SD card, I scanned it - no bad sectors. Then I tried with the card from my Raspberry Pi which works perfectly with it. I copied the image with DD and I had the same error again.

 

What could the problem be?

 

A software one, or something in the power supply, because I see no other obvious reason?

So you ask the same question the 3rd time again in the 3rd forum now and still believe in wonders? You already found out what's wrong. You can't build a house on quicksand. So ensure your power supply is sufficient and stop corrupting your SD cards.

BTW: The messages regarding MMC on startup and something regarding voltage can be either ignored or need a bit deeper understanding. But the other symptoms you tell are a clear sign for power issues (sudden power-off when watching youtube videos for example).
