Hi, We are a gruop of students who want to make a kiosk system with embedded linux boards. We are now in selection phase but we could not decide which one fits to our requirements. Could you please help us? Our requirements: - Minimum power consumption, since the kiosk will be powered with

I think the BBB is the better choice as well, but you'll likely want to measure real-world power consumption. Neither board is really designed as a mobile platform, but the Pi is at heart a set-top box (powered by AC), while the BeagleBone has it's roots in tablet-like processors and has

According to what I have read you can not disable the GPU on the rPI, but you can minimize how much RAM it uses ( down to around 16MB it seems ) I would however wager if you're not using the GPU, its power signature would be minimal. rPI A seems to use up to around 300mA( but no onboard

Thanks for replies. I have read somewhere ( http://www.daveakerman.com/?page_id=1294) that the GPU of RPi can be deactivated but it saves only 20mA of power, which is not a big deal. Our system will consist of some other hardwares as well i.e. solar power control, RFID reader, CAN bus connection,
