And sometimes did not event reboot (*): had to loop-reset it until boot process go to the end. Seem the most "workable" product so far.. (bought in 2015) I am not the most skilled of us, but, FWIW, you can get an "industrial" version of the BeagleBone Black. That might be more rugged for your intended deployments. See, e.g., http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/ELEMENT14-BBONE-BLACK-IND-4G-/83-17007 Cheers, Paul.
