[arm-allstar] RPi2 Accidental crashes

[Stanley Stanukinos]

Interesting issue, I would have thought it was the energy pulse but when I read the article further it could even be induced by using a laser. Sounds like the chip mfg needs to do a little work in emp reduction.

The flash was not pointed directly at the Pi and it crashed so it is very sensitive. The fix is to not do that or put the Pi in an opaque case and keep the cover on.
