It's not perfect. There was (not sure if they fixed in subsequent hardware revisions) an issue with the ethernet not working about 50% of the time, and this required cutting the physical power to the device to fix. https://community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-boa...

I found this out the hard way after building an IOT vehicle logger using these boards, had to work in a hardware self-reset to rework the board.

Was that specific to the BBB industrial? That's a really unfortunate bug.

I agree, about the "nothing is perfect", though. The lesson when you do stuff in embedded really is "Trust nothing."
