The second PDF in the link below compares the Raspberry Pi with the Beaglebone Black for a next gen APM. The nod went the the Beaglebone because of more GPIO, PWM support, and the two PRUs for realtime operation. The Pi B+ helps the first point, but not the other two. There is also a really interesting page in here on the latencies that are required.
BTW, this was written by Andrew Tridgell of Samba fame.

- 2bluesc 12y agoThanks for this. Whenever I see people running around high fiving over the Raspberry Pi, I start to formulate an argument how the BBB would almost always be vastly superior for slightly more cost.
- mavkhimenia 12y agoThere a lot of boards that outperform BBB 10-20-30x times. But both RPi and BBB are more than enough to run an autopilot code. One of the great advantages of RPi over BBB is 1080p camera module with hardware H264 encoder as well as bigger community.
