[Ovmsdev] SPIRAM memory test fail

[Patrick Stein]

Dear all,

I’m having a weird problem. As I’m not courageous enough to keep the module connected all time, I will connect the module when starting the vehicle. For some reason however the module always had to be reconnected cause otherwise the blue light would stay continous and unresponsive ( no wfi ). 
Today I went into the underground garage with my laptop and connected the usb cable (not connected via obd) and immediately then connect Terminal.app. And I saw the following:

> E (2061) spiram: SPI SRAM memory test fail. 131071/131072 writes failed, first @ 3F800000

The version is a modified one as I added a battery voltage check to the code that uses a calibrated voltage. I don’t think the error it’s related to the code.
After pressing reset the system boots normally. Interesting enough it only happens after a night’s reset without beeing connected to the car. When I try it after it has worked it will always boot up fine. I’ve never encountered that error on my desk. 

Is the new module maybe broken ?
