One wonders why they didn't combine the due and the beagle bone - it would have only simplified things.
Could it be that there are incompatibility issues between it and the older arduino ?
- falcolas 12y agoProbably because the BBB can't really handle realtime applications - in its default form it's running Debian Linux these days. The microcontroller can take care of the realtime interaction, while letting the ARM processor running Linux handle the higher level logic. Of course, it's easy to debate how much your average Microcontroller project really requires a dedicated realtime processor, but that's neither here nor there.
