What is the ambient air temperature the BBB is operating in? I would measure the temperature of the Sitara chip. Perhaps it is running on the high side. There is built in die temperature sensor, although I don't know how easy it is to read it. Either, based on data, or as an experiment, put a

Thanks for the response! I'd thought about temperature as an issueI'll have to dig into this. I'd done some testing of beaglebones in a hotbox before this deployment and I ran things up pretty hot (like 65C for multiple hours) and never had an issue with the beaglebonesbut let me investig

Hi Graham, re: Temperature - I looked at graphs of the temperature sensor of a router that's located in the same cabinet as the beaglebone. At the time of the crash - the router temperature sensor was reading 40C (this sensor is inside the router case, so is not indicative of an ambient air temp

Several weeks after implementing this, and stability seems very much improved. Thank you so much for your help - this is a big relief to have this sorted! FYI - there is now a small army of ~15 beaglebones deployed throughout Sierra Leone and Liberia to monitor health of connectivity there. -
