The analogue I/O is all up to you. The data rates are not a problem, nor is the 
networking. 

Achilles heel will be storage. YMMV according to your write frequencies/rates. 

SD frames are (IMHO) dreadful for anything serious. And I'd be certain of SD 
media failure over that time frame. 

Suitably housed USB/Network attached SSD an improvement but still very tricky 
over a decade or so. 

Re comparative robustness - that depends. There are vendors selling AM335X SOMs 
(including RJ/USB) with better temp range specs. 

Presumably these things are going to be properly housed even if they are inside 
the nacelle?

I guess the advantage here is that unit cost is not too much of an issue? How 
big are the turbines?

Cheers.

Jerry.
