Hi SteveatXitek
Welcome to the forum.
... We have use some 300 pi3a+'s and have 20 that exhibit this issue. ...
Just to be clear, are those 300 pi3a+'s all running the same version of Tinycore, and
20 of them are stuck in this reboot loop?
That would suggest something is different about those 20 units:
different firmware
different chip part numbers on those boards
different chip part manufacturers on those boards
boards purchased from a different vendor
power supplies for those boards are not up to snuff
etc.
