Hi Tarmo,

I tried a 12V 5A switch mode power supply - still no dice.

I even flashed it using this PSU, switched to USB to add WiFi credentials, 
and then put it back to 12V and SSH'd in via WiFi. Still has the same issue 
with read-only.

I really think it must be a hardware problem, I might go have a look at the 
board gerbers/cad files and see if I can spot anything, perhaps it could be 
something as benign as the eMMC/Wifi chips having being on the same power 
plane (most likely I assume?), and when WiFi requires more current during a 
transmission, it's unable to source enough, which could cause voltage to 
drop or not enough current supplied to eMMC, which then causes the error? 
This would be why adding a beefier PSU would help I guess - but if for some 
reason the traces are really thin or something, or not enough vias or not 
not enough shielding... who knows :-) 

I guess the absolute very last thing you could try, would be clearing the 
eMMC and re-writing bootloader and everything from scratch - but what's the 
point? This issue *ALSO* happens when I'm booted to the SD card - so to me 
that seems like it's something with the WiFI chip causing havoc in other 
parts of the board (maybe RAM/CPU ??)

Thanks for the help anyway guys!
