I have killed a dozen sd cards running RaspPi.
Frustrating thing is that it happens after a few days.
Sold off about a doz RasbPi and vowed never to touch it again.
Have run the same software on BBB in outdoors condition of a week.
Works good. So far BBB with angstrom works good.
Excepting for the 4th BBB card, could not dd from sd card to emmc.
Worked fine for the first 3 cards.
Having to upgrade OS from sd card is not a good idea as I had to re-install
packages and apps.
Too bad that Punky hasn't ported "Voyage Linux" to the ARM processor.
Voyage is small (runs in 128 - 256 megs), designed to run embedded,
doesn't use 'systemd' but instead uses SysV/init startup so it is REALLY
easy to manage services, supports IPv6 and does NOT use that horrid little
'connman' package, has a MUCH larger repository of software packages
available (compared to Angstrom), and runs in READ-ONLY mode so as NOT to
wear out the memory. You can run 'remountrw' and 'remountro' when you
need to make changes to the configs.
Been running Voyage for YEARS and haven't worn out a memory card, yet!
If Voyage were ported to the ARM and included the Device Tree Overlays,
I'd jump ship in a heartbeat :)
