Radio ham discovers Raspberry Pi 2 Xenon flash glitch

BBC News reports on the discovery by Essex radio amateur Peter Onion
G0DZB that the Raspberry Pi 2 reboots when photographed using a Xenon
flash

It appears a SMPS chip on the board is not light resistant.

Peter G0DZB is a regular at the Amateur Radio Skills Nights run by the
Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) where he demonstrates many
practical aspects of amateur radio and occasionally brings along his
Raspberry Pi.

The Skills Nights are held on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7pm in
the Danbury Village Hall, Main Street, Danbury, Essex, CM3 4NQ. The
next one takes place on Monday, February 16. It is free and everyone
is welcome to attend.
