BeagleBone

BeagleBone is a low-power open-source single-board computer series developed by the BeagleBoard.org Foundation, a Michigan-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

The range includes the BeagleBone Black Rev C, which features a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 512 MB DDR3 RAM, a 4 GB eMMC flash, HDMI output, USB host ports, 10/100 Ethernet and a microSD slot.

For compact projects, the PocketBeagle offers dual mikroBUS sockets and two rows of expansion headers in a small form factor.

The BeagleBone Blue combines Black hardware with integrated Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, motor drivers and sensor interfaces, optimised for robotics. Protective cases retain full connector access.

All boards run mainline Linux and support real-time control via PRU subsystems.

Extensive documentation, active community forums and open-source design files guide students, makers and engineers through hardware and software exploration.

With standard I2C, SPI, UART, PWM and GPIO interfaces readily available, these SBCs accelerate project development from initial prototypes to production-ready designs.
