[New OPi Zero - Yet another high temperature issue...]

Unless I can get them to idle cooler, and also perform cooler under load, they will be practically useless.

I got 4 of the 1.4 versions, and with sysbench on the next kernel, they run around 70C, with passive cooling, and around 44-48C "idle", they run Node-Red and mosquitto. My Opi plus2 runs around the same temperature with active cooling with a minecraft server, and no problems so far. 

[Details with OPIZ2+ H5]

So I used the 5.32.170706 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.11.8-sun50iw2
Locked Kernel in Armbian-Config and did a

apt-mark hold linux-firmware

apt-mark hold armbian-firmware
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

 

 

And Wifi is working

The I unlocked the Kernel and did an upgrade, but didn't unlock linux-firmware & armbian-firmware

 

 

And Wifi is working

 

Then apt-mark unhold armbian-firmware
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

 

And WIFI is gone

Did another test with the 5.32.170706 nightly Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 4.11.8-sun50iw2 and wifi is working on this version.

Did a package lock and updated Armbian and it looked like this.

 

Reboot and WIFI is gone.

Locked the Kernel in Armbian-Config and did the upgrade. And the result is no wifi

Go to armbian-config (download if not present) and hold/freeze kernel upgrades.

 

 

 

I tried this, and it doesn't work  WiFi breaks the moment you upgrade.
