Hi Paul. I see the same. I'm using the base OS as shipped (Debian 2019-08-03). I upgraded Debian and I upgraded my kernel with the tool in /opt to get to version 4.14.108-ti-r119.
If I just let the machine idle at the desktop it will get hot and shut down after a few minutes. We want to use this as a controller without active cooling. Is this software and drivers? Is this hardware? Is there a reasonable expectation that we could run the board with high load without a fan? Is there a way to throttle processor?
