The hairdryer trick works wonders, for the low power crash.

as soon as the board completes initialization and starts to count, I switched the hairdryer from cold blow, to hot blow. Tongue

The fets temp. went up to 46c and NO CRASH

Now its hashing the fets temp is steady 43c to 44c Cool

I just need to test out how this will work with 8 Chili on a rPi and hope it stays stable. Roll Eyes

My thanks to the brave man who tried it the first time with a soldering blower.

I confirm that, yesterday and today I got finally all my sent boards working at some point with hairdryer trick: need some effort to start hashing but now I have a method to overcome reset problems until final solution is found. Many thank asjfdlksfd to share this with us.

My last mission now is investigates one board stop hashing after some hours: but for me is a minor annoyance...

Lucko/MrTeal: If board pre heating seems so reliable to solve this reset is possible simulate this behavior on firmware?
I wonder if after all everything is OK with board and main reason of problems are only some of Lucko's BFL chip batch are slightly out of specs. This happened on cointado board so is not completilly out of question.

My last restart ( even knowing 1 board will became "sick" during this night i am happy for first time
since entered on this project ) Grin
