08:13 Exaga> is it ok to pick your brains a little at ths time of sunday morning?
08:15 jnettlet> of course. I have been working for hours already
08:15 Exaga> aww ur always working hard :>
08:16 Exaga> on my hummingboard i2ex - the soc gets a but hot when compiling
08:16 Exaga> bit*
08:16 jnettlet> I live in Denmark. Not much else to do

08:17 jnettlet> Are you using our NXP based kernel, or mainline?
08:17 Exaga> 17-25% proof
08:17 Exaga> NXP
08:18 Exaga> anyway, my question is... will i be doing any harm by running it hot for prolonged periods and i mean hours
08:18 Exaga> will it decrease the lifespan of the device?
08:19 Exaga> theoretically or practically
08:19 jnettlet> not at all. It has built in throttling levels, and a critical shutdown. All of NXPs chips are designed for running at near critical temps for 10 years
08:19 Exaga> excellent
08:20 Exaga> i was a little concerned but now I'm confident :>
08:21 jnettlet> trust me, we torture test the SOCs before we release them. Have a nice industrial testing oven that we use to push them until failure. It takes a lot.
08:22 Exaga> do you run them in that oven of just bake them?
08:22 Exaga> or*
08:22 jnettlet> we run them
08:22 Exaga> ja cool
08:23 Exaga> so you know the limits beyond the limits
08:23 Exaga> so to speak
08:28 jnettlet> we try to. Are always amazed at corner cases that customers find though.
08:29 Exaga> i bet
08:36 vpeter> Customers are very creative :)
08:36 Exaga> people will find ways nobody else has thought of
08:36 Exaga> everybody works differently
