I agree, serial cable is a must. Here's one a bit cheaper and on Amazon
Prime:

Greg, buying a serial debug cable really is necessary if you intend to
do anything serious with the BBB. However . . .

According to the PL2303HX datasheet it is 3v3 TTL, but double check
for yourself. I've seen these cheap USB<->Serial converters go for as
low as 2-3 USD. Cables, 6 bux US is about as low as I remember having
seen them. From what I understand they're also supposed to be fairly
decent, but as with anything else YMMV.
You said something about having other cables / modules just wrong
header ? why not whip an adapter up ? Not that hard to make / use
jumper wires . . . does matter if it looks pretty so long as it serves
it's purpose.

Oh, and right, only time I've had my beaglebone black reset, is
when it loses power ( we switch from generator, and back to solar
). Or I've intentionally reset it. Mostly I reset my own board
because I make lots of changes to various things, and I want to
make sure it comes back up as intended from a reset.

william@arm:~$ uptime
14:38:02 up 4 days, 4:31, 1 user, load average: 0.04,

And this is a small uptime. I've had it run for months at a
time. Others yet have had longer uptimes.
One thing you have not mentioned, or at least i have not seen
you mention is if you're connecting anything on the IO pins.
IF so, what.

Another reset early this afternoon, so I have shutdown and
removed the 5v2a cheapo PS and replaced it with a Garmin
5v1a PS I have that uses the mini USB instead of the
banana plug. I want to eliminate the current PS as the
problem. All my PS are in two power strips plugged into an
APC Battery Backup so power is conditioned, filtered, and
constant.
I'm spending waaayyyy too much time with this since my
RasPi has been set up same way and running 24/7 since I
plugged it in with zero issues.
Am I the only one with constant resets on a BBB?
I'm hesitant to drop $24 on a serial debug cable that I'll
use maybe two days to capture data that might or might not
shed light on the issue.

Update: the BBB just reset again at 7:49am. That's
interesting, because it reset twice yesterday at
almost the same times 7:35am and 8:13am and today at
7:13am and 7:49am. cron daily runs at 6:25am and I
have no ctontab jobs at those times. Appears to be
some sort of pattern due to the daily reset times
being so close, but there is nothing is syslog except
cron.hourly until the new boot sequence starts.
