I use a 7 port hub to power the board. It worked with some other small devboards. The cable is some random Chinese USB to power jack adaptor with an extra adaptor to fit the Pi socket. It looks ok but I did not test this particular combination thoroughly. > > Where during the boot process does it lock up? Usually sometime around enabling cpufreq before getty starts. Different runs and settings give slightly different results. In particular adding the 1008000 point seems to make it go further. Removing all traces of the regulator, cpufreq and thermal I can boot pretty much 100% to login prompt. I don't think the difference between 1GHz and 1.3GHz frequency on the core would put much additional stress on the supply but I can try with 35W PSU and some alternative cabling to be sure. I did some more tests and it seems 1008000 at 1.1V is fine but switching to 1.3V crashes the board. Even with only the first 1.3V state. Maybe there is need for some delay somewhere for the regulator to get stable? Thanks Michal
