+1 on the bluetooth dongle.
No, the issue occurs in the startup process.
Your issue is that the upstream (SolidRun) kernel disables softirqs too early, so the shutdown / reboot can sometimes hang. The dirty hack I used was to always, explicitly power down via SNVS. You can apply this patch to the old 3.14 tree and the issue should be resolved:

Subject: [PATCH] Explicitly disable power off system by SNVS:
* This results in LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_HALT being called instead of LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF which should resolve a kernel panic introduced by ENGR00243120
* This is caused by local IRQs being disabled too early (ugly fix)

- I don’t know how to do so
- I guess it doesn’t matter since I’ll exchange my device with vero2
- Sry for posting unrelated stuff in this thread
I believe we have now fixed the systemd issue and we will now continue on with our testing.
Sam
Thank you. Done 
Any news?

Nice…just saw that my previous posts here apparently got deleted… Also one way to deal with criticism 
No one has deleted your posts. I can see them above.
Where does it say they were deleted?
Your posts about the Bt dongle and delays etc are in the Vero 2 is now shipping thread, not this thread. I just clicked on your profile and I can see all of your posts. None have been deleted
Damn, sry my bad! …how many more vero 2 delivery posts are there? one would think one is enough but ok.
