How do you design for and validate "rugged"-ness? Are there standardized tests?
MIL-STD-167: is a test method standard for mechanical vibration of shipboard equipment
MIL-S-901D: is a Navy test specification for shock to simulate explosions in the water next to a ship or submarine.

Even though the board can be hardened, and temperature ranges of the Broadcom seem acceptable, what bothers me is that the Broadcom still boots via unauditable "mystery" code in the GPU. Am still correct, or has that changed?
For example, operating in a temperature controlled environment at various extremes, being put on a precisely controlled vibration device for a certain amount of time, being exposed to RF or radiation, etc.
