Enter for a chance to win a BeagleBone Black—a compact, open-source Linux development board built for electronics, robotics, automation and embedded projects.
We’re giving away a BeagleBone Black!
The BeagleBone Black is a compact, community-supported development board for programmers, engineers, students and electronics hobbyists. It can boot Linux in under 10 seconds and offers extensive connectivity and expansion options for building robotics, industrial automation, IoT, home-automation and other embedded projects.
Powered by a 1GHz Texas Instruments Sitara AM3358 ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the board includes 512MB of DDR3L memory, 4GB of onboard eMMC storage and a microSD slot. It also features Ethernet, USB host and client ports, micro-HDMI, serial connectivity and two 46-pin expansion headers with access to GPIO, ADC, I²C, SPI, UART and PWM interfaces.
Its built-in programmable real-time units make it especially useful for projects requiring precise, real-time control. The BeagleBone ecosystem also supports a wide selection of add-on “capes” for motors, relays, robotics, communications, prototyping and more.
Whether you want to experiment with Linux, build your next automation project or explore embedded hardware, the BeagleBone Black gives you a capable and flexible platform in a board about the size of a mint tin.
