Thanks for the honest answer!  I'm hoping at some point I'll be able to use the RSB bus to monitor power usage, if that is supported?  Are there any power hungry parts I should be watching out for please?

I did manage to get the idle temperature down to 42C, so I hope that will reflect in less power usage Smile  Although I think I'll need a 2nd core fired up soon, if I can work out how.  

Whatever else people say about the PinePhone, I think it is a great learning tool for systems programming!
