Over Christmas, I decided to try out Triode's SOA on a Wandboard Dual
Lite (rev b). Everything went smoothly, with the small exception that
the Arch kernel refuses to warm boot on my hardware. I had to pull the
plug several times to get SOA installed. I tried updating the kernel to
the "modified" one and also tried replacing the u-boot with one I
compiled from sources. All permutations resulted in a working system
when booting from a power-on reset, but no success in booting when using
"sync; reboot" from the command line. Later versions of the Linux kernel
seem to have no such issues (3.18.1-arm7 for example), but I am having
trouble reliably initializing the Broadcom WiFi chip with the newer
kernel.

I see that this has been discussed earlier in this thread and someone
thought that installing irqbalance solved it. Others said the problem
improved over time, but I never saw a complete resolution. Is this
problem hardware-specific to particular versions of the Wandboard? 

Overall, I congratulate Triode for making SOA so complete and
user-friendly!
