Despite the chunky heat sink, it runs extremely hot. The heat sink is too hot to touch for more than a moment or two.
Is this as designed?
Is this causing throttling by default?
Will this affect the longevity of the device?
Are there any non-hacky cooling solutions (fans) out there?
Thanks!

With no fan, running everything at 100% (and dsp’s) one of my test units stays around 65C… Talking with TI, it does have room above that with no issues…
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
While it runs hot, it was designed for automotive environments…

Great! Thanks.
I might try to hack a fan, nevertheless!!

The heat sink is very good, all you need is a little air moving over it to keep it cool.

Hi Guys,
What male connector is needed for the fan header, I have had a good search around and just can not work it out!
Many thanks for any help

Hello,
Does the BBAI FanCape work on the BBAI-64 for heat dissipation?
I have a random, I will mention it soon, WiFi module from a Lenovo computer that I attached to the BBAI-64.
It is an Intek Model: 9560NGW
I tried the commands listed under the BBAI-64 for setting up WiFi. I received this output when using the command to update wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory
Is this a known issue so far w/ adding random WiFi…
My board runs at around 50C with ambient at around 26C.
Is the chip on the board the automotive spec’d version ?
