Hello all,
First, thank you for your input.
Second, it seems we had problems because we were overclocking the ARM
and because we had a problem in our sleep routine (the ARM was always
active). After downclocking and debugging the sleep routine, the
temperature inside the enclosure never goes over 45-50¤C and the ARM
never fails.
It would be interesting to evaluate the temperature when the ARM is
always on. We'll try it out in the coming weeks.
We will look into shading the ARM enclosure with a aluminum panel in
the final installation.
Thank you all again,
Vincent
