    <thetext>1) copy a BSP image on a USB stick with dd (ex: core-image-lsb-sdk-jasperforest)
2) live boot from USB

Notice regular hangs on usage. These hangs seem to be I/O related.

Some usual hangs:
-immediately after login prompt, insert incorrect user. Notice a 2-3 minutes system hang
-issue &quot;find / | grep if&quot;. Notice system hangs at some point during the search and resumes after a long time
-conduct test cases like:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/tr_show_case.cgi?case_id=207
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/tr_show_case.cgi?case_id=205

I believe there was a bug/discussion on this in the past and it was blamed on poor USB read/write performance. The USB stick this was tested on has 20 Mb/s write 70 Mb/s read so I believe it has decent performance.

Please note that I had same issues with recent sugarbay sato-sdk images and with n450 in the past(we don&apos;t have that BSP for testing here anymore). It seems to be an overall live boot issue.</thetext>

    <thetext>I&apos;ve only heard of these kinds of issues with very large live images, like lsb-sdk. I believe it is related to too little RAM. If these continue to be reported we may have to make some sort of explicit test during init.</thetext>

    <thetext>This is still an issue on less powerfull platforms like MinnowBoard and AtomPC(tested with genericx86 image).</thetext>

    <thetext>It seems most boards are working except jasperforest. Assigning to Lucian to help provide more info.</thetext>

    <thetext>Had some trouble in the past with the jasperforest but it turns out to be because it is just a little more picky with the USB drives. 
The other images are tested regularly for live boot and there is no issue as far as I know.
I think we can close this, and if there will be problems in the future open another one.</thetext>
