Hi Guys,  I am seeing the same issue as Richard above.  Was a solution ever 
found for this ESD reset issue?

In the past I have had some success on solving this issue on other micros 
by adding some capacitance on the micro's reset line to prevent the reset 
I/P bouncing when the ESD takes place, however looking at the BBB 
schematics, this is already included in the form of C24 being 1uF.  

Richard, did you find a solution to this?

Gerald,  I assume this family of processors must be used in many commercial 
products.  Do you have an idea of what solutions were used to overcome this?

Many thanks in advance.
Lee.
