This might be a good idea. Maybe the combination of Palmas and the
charger / battery chip causes an issue here and the voltage isn't
increased for some reason.

What you could also test would be setting 1GHz to run with a higher
voltage and measure whether the voltage REALLY is increased.
This way, the unit doesn't crash.

Another thing I'd like to remind here:
1,5GHz work fine (even with full load) with the EVM and the iGEPV5
board.
So it probably is something that's different between those and our
boards.

* Are there differences in the board files that could cause
  our CPU to misbehave?

* Is there a difference in our hardware setup that could lead to that?
  We got different RAM, a different quartz, different power setup (we
  don't have a simple AC like the devboards, but a battery / charger
  circuit)
