A Review of Beaglebone Smart Board´s-A Linux/Android Powered Low Cost Development Platform Based on ARM Technology

In the last few years, there have been a rapid increase towards single-board microcontrollers. These days, trend has shifted towards development of full-fledged credit-card sized computer´s like Arduino Mega2560, Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Chip and even Beaglebone. These boards are low cost, low power, easy deployable and has user-friendly configurable options. Beaglebone technology is speeding up and growing like anything as millions of pieces are sold worldwide till date. Beaglebone boards are showing tremendous increase in adaptability and implementation in diverse areas like Robotics, Drones, Smart Homes, IoT devices, Linux and Cloud Computing Servers and even more. The aim and objective of this research paper is to provide a comprehensive review of Beaglebone Technology, various Beaglebone boards available till date with their technical specifications along with various research areas which can enable researchers and industry professionals to take up Beaglebone Technology and develop wide range of ready to use efficient and low cost products.
