Just a hint for spontaneous reboots:
Connect a logging terminal (PC ;-) to C0 with Dip 1 up (debug mode with 9600 8N1). Then
login as !root and do "set console".
Normally, the PM3 is rebooted by an internal watchdog which seems to check the ComOS
every minute. In most cases, you will get a watchdog panic before a reboot. But this only
on the Console port, AFAIK. I´m not sure wether you have to login as !root and have
"set console".
I´m pretty sure Livingston support likes the watchdog panic output and the stack trace
for getting the clue ;-)
