Review on 🖥️ Eleduino BeagleBone Black Rev C (4G) SBC Development Board by Michelle Larson

Excellent Single Board Computer. I actually use one of these in a professional setting. I prefer them over Raspberry Pi (1, 3 etc) as they have more GPIOs and are a fully open platform. No WiFi, but that doesn't bother me. I don't like using Wi-Fi for an embedded device unless it's used for experimentation. Ethernet is much more stable. The best thing about them and the BeagleBone Green is that the micro USB port acts as a USB serial console port for Linux, power and a USB RNDIS Ethernet device (Ethernet over USB). That's cool. You just need a micro USB cable to do whatever you want with it. Facilitates development. Also, this way you can have two LANs if you set up USB Ethernet connection sharing. They also use less power than the Raspi 3, which is good. And the fact that the operating system uses eMMC instead of an SD card is good too. It's a little more reliable than an SD card (we're talking about a sudden power failure causing damage). This will still happen with eMMC from what I've read, but maybe not as much as with an SD card. However, if you prefer, you can load it from an SD card or just use the micro SD slot for data. Note that this processor is not as powerful as the Raspberry Pi 3, which has a quad-core processor. It's more than enough for what I use it for. This device is not suitable for placing a multimedia PC or for personal computers. This is for learning embedded development and using GPIO to interact with the world.
