[arm-allstar] Locked out again from SSH -

[Mark G Thomas]

Hi,

One problem is the Pi power circuit on the board  introduces too much voltage drop. In order to reliably get close enough to 5.0V where it counts within the Pi, it is best to use a 5.2V (or so) supply, of sufficient current capacity of course. If you search, you will find these model supplies readily available, and they work best. They are generally promoted specifically for the Pi.
