Hi all,

is there any cooling for the a20 needed? Pictures don't show anything.

None really needed.  Not even when you add the enclosure A20-ENC.

The only component that gets hot, but nothing to worry about, is the A20 itself.

My board is working 24/7 and I added a passive heatsink to it, but it does not get half as hot as the Raspberry Pi did, so it doesn't seem to be a must, just an improvement. Great design, I suppose....  ;)
