Not really final and carefully finished products; abble to works for years or a decade; doing is job in a office corner, being forgotten  by anyone, like some of my older freebsd servers wich are running for a decade now.

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
