You could also have an MSP430, Any number of Cortex M0+ ( or even M4 ) MCU's, PIC, 8051, Paralax propeller . . .to do some of the leg work then talking to a BBB. The list is only really limited to the number of MCU's capable of interfacing with a BBB via I2C, SPI, or UART. There are even some hybrids that act as sort of a USB<->SPI / I2C / UART bridge.
Anyway, like what has been posted already. Need more information. As in you need to know what your system is going to, and even then you could potentially get 50 answers.
