Not really scientific, but I have used around 50 Beagles of various pedigree/version. I have only had to return one for repair, and that was I think due to accidentally applying 5V to a GPIO pin. :-(

Keep up the good work Gerald et al. :-)
Dave.

The power related issues are not necessarily the fault of the device its self. It could be a bad ground on your part, or other "new" software that you've installed or started to use.

When the BBB has blinking LEDs ( CPU heartbeat ) this implies that it does in fact work. SO either you're not waiting long enough, or dropbear( assuming ssh ) has lost its mind again. Yet there are other possible causes as well.

Get a serial debug cable as Robert suggests, and see what is happenign at the console / uboot prompt.

    Our return rate is .02%. Where 75% of the failures are customer

        I have been managing 9 beaglebones as a part of a project I am
        working on, and so far, all 9 of them have initially worked,
        but I now have 6 functional units. 2 of them succumbed to the
        power failure issue (plug in beaglebone, power led blinks,
        nothing happens, pressing power button blinks the power led),
        and one of them fails to read from the SD card. I am
        relatively disappointed that 3 out of 9 has failed over the
        course of a few months, but i dont think I represent a big
        enough sample set to reflect the reliability of all
        beaglebones. I think there should be some well defined
        statistics to define the reliability of these platforms...

            Hi all,

            I was wondering if anyone has any statistics on average
            failure rate and reliability of Beagle Bones. The failures
            can be due to either hardware or software.

            Thank you very much,

            Justin
