BeagleBone Black is the next generation open-source computer that is a credit-card-sized Linux computer using a low cost SitaraTM AM3359 Cortex-A8 ARM® processor from Texas Instruments. It offers higher performance and ready-to-use out-of-box convenience at half the price of the original BeagleBone and with all the necessary accessories in the box. Whether operating standalone or in conjunction with another computer, BeagleBone Black will provide developers easy access to industry standard interfaces and a well-developed ecosystem of software and tools. The original BeagleBone's cape plug-in boards are mostly compatible with the BeagleBone Black, making easy integration with previous projects yet another advantage. Experiment with Linux, Android and Ubuntu and jump-start development within five minutes!
