BeagleBone Black
Open Source, Linux-based Computer Board
BeagleBone® Black is an affordable, versatile development board designed for both hobbyists and professional developers. Backed by a strong open-source community, it allows users to boot Linux in under 10 seconds and start developing in less than 5 minutes using just a single USB cable.
Built around the ARM® Cortex™-A8 processor, BeagleBone® Black is ideal for early adopters and anyone exploring embedded systems. It includes essential onboard peripherals to showcase the processor’s capabilities while providing access to a wide range of interfaces. Users can expand functionality with plug-in add-on boards known as capes, or customize the hardware further by creating their own circuitry or extension boards.
