"BeagleBone is a low cost, open hardware, expandable computer first introduced in November 2011 by BeagleBoard.org, a community of developers sponsored by Texas Instruments. Various BeagleBone variants, including the original BeagleBone and the new BeagleBone Black, host a powerful 32-bit, super-scalar ARM Cortex A8 processor operating from 720 MHz to 1 GHz. Yet, BeagleBone is small enough to fit in a small mint tin box."--Provided by publisher.
