Arm based -- but product line runs a wide gamut. The BeagleBone Black
(rev C) is a 1GHz 32-bit ARM, 512kB RAM, 4GB eMMC on-board (and also has
uSDHC slot), Ethernet (not via USB translation). A lot of GPIOs, and
includes ADC and PWM capability (also has two "Programmable Realtime Units"
which can be used when a protocol needs deterministic timings as they do
not run an OS). Main OS is Debian.
Variations exist for WiFi, Robotics...
The big BeagleBoard X15 costs as much as a bottom end desktop computer.
Dual Cortex-A15 @ 1.5GHz, dual 700MHz DSP, 4 PRUs, 2GB RAM, dual Gigabit
Ethernet, 3x USB 3, eSATA
