My read was it’s the chip/driver combo.
And the Pi is not the only thing to use that chip, it’s just very popular.
So even if one’s attitude is “get a real computer” like the first post in this thread you may still find yourself with this same chip.
- tialaramex 3y agoI can easily buy either 1. The chip works perfectly but it's documented badly/ wrongly, e.g. doesn't spell out the whole strategy needed for a periodic key renewal or does so confusingly - driver is written to match the docs or at least the best understanding of these docs, and unfortunately this defect arises after 10 hours but devs with the actual docs have never tested for that long. 2. The chip has a bug, it's not possible to use it correctly per se. Every few hours, just reset it and start over, thus a "good" driver should do resets when quiescent. e.g. After 2 hours, if you did no work for 60 seconds, reset it, after 4 hours make that 15 seconds, after 6 hours, 5 seconds, after 7 hours immediately on quiescence, and after 8 hours just reset immediately rather than wait for the bug.
