Beagles are not Arduinos. Most common Arduinos use an 8-bit AVR
processor, the higher end models have ARM Cortex M3, or M0 processors.
The BeagleBone Black does run Debian -- it has a Cortex A series
processor (A series => Application processors, M series => Microcontroller
processors).
It also has a pair of 200MHz PRU microcontrollers -- originally meant
for coding custom I/O protocols as they have a fixed/known instruction
timing.
