Rupert,

Plus the dmesg you posted is by the RAM disk installation OpenBSD kernel.
You Should complete an actual OpenBSD installation to get the full dmesg.

   "Similar to previous Silvermont generation design flaws were found in
 processor circuitry resulting in cease of operation when processors are
 actively used for several years.  Errata named

 APL47  System May Experience Inability to Boot or May Cease Operation

 and

 APL48  System May Experience Non-functioning GPIO Weak Pull-up Circuitry

 were added to documentation in June 2017 stating:

 The Low Pin Count (LPC), Real-Time Clock (RTC), Secure Digital (SD) card
 and General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) interfaces may stop functioning.

 The documents cited in the Wikipedia article, see for current versions..
 that apply to the later CPU stepping models, if any, as time progresses:

 
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/pentium-celeron-n-series-j-series-datasheet-spec-update.pdf
 
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/atom-c3000-family-spec-update.pdf

 APL47 Problem:  Under certain conditions LPC, SD card and RTC circuitry
 may stop functioning in the outer years of use.

 APL48 Problem:  When platform drives the GPIO pin low, GPIOs programmed
 with weak pull-up circuitry may not maintain a value above VIH when not
 actively driven in outer years of service."

 Some other "interesting" errata:

 APL23  HD Audio Recording May Experience a Glitch While Opening or
        Closing Audio Streams

 APL25  USB Device Controller Incorrectly Interprets U3 Wakeup For Warm
        Reset

 APL27  USB 2.0 Timing Responsiveness Degradation

 APL50  System May Unexpectedly Shut Down When Software Requests a Reset

 APL53  Warm Reset May Result in System Hang or Unexpected System
        Behaviour

 Keep your eyes open and.. expect some more technical Atom CPU findings.
