Thor still freezes with R38.2.2 and does not accept any input from keyboard or mouse for 2 to 3 seconds, several times a minute. If there was meant to be a fix for the problem in 38.2.2 it did not work.
Running “nvidia-smi dmon” still stops the freezing.
I want to add, that I experience exactly the same issue as @whitesscott with a complete new Thor developer board. Freezes of about 2 seconds happen regularly, several times a minute, mostly when typing something in the shell. When running “nvidia-smi dmon” and then opening a new shell, this freezing doesn’t happen at all. Also running “watch nvidia-smi” does seem to have the same effect. So somehow this seems to be related to keeping the device “busy” somehow …
