In this case, the power unit still appeared to be delivering sufficient power... time to dig deeper and take the thing apart. See here some pictures of the device Note the brown coloring... seems the device gets bit hot during regular operations. This is the main PCB, in the right corner empty header.

When connecting a serial port, it spits out the linux boot output at 115200bps (at 3.3v): The booting process of my (broken) device:              ___  ___  _________                _             / _ \ |...
