I never saw heating problems with the Cavium. You may have a short somewhere From: orfanic856 <> To: Sent: Friday, February 1, 2013 6:14 AM Subject: [ts-7000] Re: Unexpected TS7500 reboot and read only I attached heat sink to the Cavium processor. Ugly solution, but it's working. Still, this is weird. Is the board so badly designed to be overheat it so easily or is it a bug?

If the reboot doesn't then occur, you've got it pegged. The system will then hang. Back out your changes until it doesn't hang any more. I could never get the watchdog off to work. > > > > ________________________________ > From: orfanic856 > To: > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 2:54 PM > Subject: [ts-7000] Re: Unexpected TS7500 reboot and read only > > >  > Yes, could be.

But...instead of restarting, system hangs completely. Then it needs to be restarted manually. Watchdog was doing good job before I switched him off. > > I am using set of python threaded scripts to control DIOs as well as connected USB devices. Most probably it happens during sending control commands setdio/getdio. I am using self compiled C library imported in to python. But it hangs when I was communicating through sockets with dioctl as well. And couple of times it happens also by setting/getting DIOs from command line. > > Could it be caused by processor overheating?
