For me it is a joke, because the RPi has a long history of being an unreliable plateform.
Exemple: powercut and memory cards corruptions, etc...
So, if I had to design for military specs, I would probably bet on some other more robust platform.
- stuaxo 5y agoSD cards do seem to die very easily, from what I hear USB sticks are much more reliable.
- greatgib 5y agoFrom what I understood, it was not necessarily the quality of the SD card the problem, but that the rpi was lacking a capacitor or something like that preventing the current to be shut instantly when there is a power cut or a shutdown. And sdcard don't like at all sudden loss of power in the middle of a 'write' or 'refresh' command. Cards death or corruption happened to me a lot even when taking care with rpi but never when using beaglebones.

- drewzero1 5y agoI couldn't find any reference to storage options on the product page. The compute module is available with 0-32GB onboard eMMC but it's possible they're using an alternate storage solution on the carrier board. Hopefully they're using something more reliable than sd.
