I chose the Modest preset, so it should be just 800MHz
and with no
other modification on other freqs.
I'm at 950MHz as my SD cards got corrupted with higher settings. This is
because higher settings demand a higher core_freq which was the culprit
in my case, the SD cards I'm using can't cope with higher core_freq
settings.
I tried it, but when I try to wipe partitions with
gparted or any
other it unmount itself or say that it's not possible.
Weird issue, seems like a defective SD card. Bummer but it can happen
and not just in a RPi.
If you run into corruption errors the SD might
be
defective?
At least not until now, never had a problem. I wonder if the reboot
cause a physical damage on the SD, but in a reboot it shouldn't happen
a peak of voltage to cause that.
This could allow me to maybe boot a system in a USB stick, but then I
waste one USB slot, and I'm afraid that if I buy another SD card it
could be corrupted again and then it would be wasted money.
You can boot from an USB stick connected to a hub. I've tested this when
trying to run a RT kernel on the RPi. But either my USB stick or the RPi
itself has issues with the throughput because I had the idea the RPi was a
lot less responsive and audio was completely distorted.
