EleDuino BeagleBone Black Rev C (4G) Single Board Computer Development Board

It’s a.Beagle Bone, what can I say.

Your satisfaction with this board with be directly proportional to how much time and energy you want to invest into it. It is not a raspberry pi and those purchasing it with that expectation will be disappointed. The support community is smaller and the learning curve is steeper. However, it is a great dev board for the AM3359 processor and will not disappoint. For those looking to run a custom Linux distro, both buildroot and yocto offer a ready to compile solution. The graphics drivers can be a little difficult to get working on Linux 4.x.

This is good stuff, useful.

Perfect - no problem at all.

Great SBC. I'm actually using one of these in a professional environment. I greatly prefer these to Raspberry Pi (1, 3, whatever) as they have more GPIO and are fully open platform. No wifi, but no worries for me. I don't like using wifi for an embedded device unless it's there for experimentation. Ethernet is far more stable.The best thing about these, and the BeagleBone Green as well, is that the micro usb port functions as a usb to serial console for Linux, a power supply, AND a usb RNDIS ethernet gadget (ethernet over usb). This is awesome. you only need a micro USB cable to do just about whatever you want with these. Makes for easier development. Plus, you can have two LANs that way if you set up connection sharing to the usb ethernet interface.They also use less power than Raspi 3, which is good. And the fact that it uses an eMMC instead of an SD card for the OS is also good. It's slightly more reliable than an SD card (talking about sudden power loss causing corruption). It will still happen with an eMMC, as I have read, but perhaps not as much as with an SD card. If you prefer, though, you can boot it from the SD card, or just use the micro-SD slot for data.Note that this CPU is not as powerful as a Raspberry Pi 3, which has a quadcore CPU. For what I use it for, this is more than adequate. This device is not for setting up a media PC and it's not for personal computing. It's for learning embedded development and using the GPIOs to interact with the world.
