Explains a bit why the batlevel is a jojo.

Is that supplemental info available somewhere?

The sensible thing to do is raise a minimal system and then
power up units one by one.  Isn't ARM fully static?
i.e. could i have the cpu running from rom and some sram
in bits and bouts when "switched off"?

I'le read up a bit and then come back to you if I have a good idea.
