I've seen reported temperatures of over 90C with the LCD attached - the CPU and wi-fi packages are too hot to touch. I'd also like to know if this is normal, and if there's any way to reduce the operating temperature. David |

Is this mailing list the correct place to get help and advice on this issue? David |

The OMAP is rated right up to 90C and if it boots it's probably fine. The issue with the heat is almost certainly related to the fact that the Gumstix Overa kernel tracks the OMAP kernel branch which doesn't have any power management features in it yet. There are patches out there and hopefully they will find their way into OMAP very soon.
