The BeagleBone is a low-cost open-hardware development board. If you thought of it as a more powerful Arduino that wouldn’t be terrible, but it wouldn’t but quite right. The ARM processor on the board runs a full-scale operating system and ships with version of Linux (Angstrom) designed for embedded applications. There are tons of operating systems that run ARM processors, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and many many others.

I’m so glad you guys posted this! I was planning on trying to get XIG code to run on the Beaglebone and this takes care of the hardware side!
