Hi,

How can I add Swap to my LePotato board?

Thank you.

Simplest way would be to add another storage device and create a swap partition on it. Le Potato supports SD, eMMC, and (with some caveats) USB connected devices.

If you can’t, or don’t wish, to add a device, you’ll have to repartition one that you currently have to make room for the swap. Specifics will depend on what OS you have installed.

Over to you, arnauld.

No need to add another storage device or repartition anything these days, just add a swapfile. Give this HOW-TO a look: How to Create a Linux Swap File | phoenixNAP KB
