The BeagleBone Black has a faster processor, and more on-board storage (2 GB vs. SD card only) than the Raspberry Pi. It also has a newer-generation ARM processor, so if you want to run Java it’s likely a better fit. So I actually think of the BB Black as a Raspberry Pi with a little more oomph.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I don’t know much about the BeagleBone White.
