Why is there so much resistance to using the Beaglebone? Or perhaps to say it another way, why would anyone even want to use a Pi when the Beagle has 1GHz processor and the two co-processors? What is it with the Pi and the closed architecture that makes it more attractive? Just curious. Because when you think about it, the whole point of Linux (open source) is that it can't really go out of date. Build something with a Pi clone and depending on the free market that Pi clone board may no longer be there. For an individual user maybe it's not a big deal. The Replicape (no longer available) for the Beagle is now being upgraded to holding the processor (etc) and the motor drivers. One board for both. In the long run as long as the processor is available the module to run a 3D printer or small mill is then available. But whether all that can be build less expensively compared to a COTS BBB is different question.
