The source for embedded design innovators and hobbyists BeagleBoard.org promotes and motivates open source development on ARM microprocessor-based systems. The key objectives of the organizations are to: Enable hobbyists and innovators to explore new domains and experiment with their ideas on an open platform Enable such experiments to be conducted cost effectively to nurture innovation by enabling the supply of ultra-low-cost hardware platforms Bring together communities by providing the basic infrastructure to exchange ideas BeagleBone BeagleBoard-xM The BeagleBone delivers the bare bones with a The BeagleBoard-xM has extra MIPS and extra most affordable price and the greatest access to memory, blurring the lines between desktop and interface signals for sensors and controls,inte embedded software development and while eliminating the need for accelerating the development of open additional equipment with a single source software on ARM. cable development environment.
