    I just ignore beagleboard.org after encountering the hardware bug in this article:

    The final official word from TI on this problem:

    “There is no solution for this on the BB Black“

    This sucks. If you are thinking of using a Beagle Bone Black for anything important… then don’t.

    You do not want to live in an ecosystem where a deal-breaker problem like this could happen at all, and not be fixed several years and board revs later.

      I had a Blue that would just randomly decide to turn off wifi. The whole platform is stupid if you ask me. The images they give you are Debian, I’d rather have something targeted at embedded given the specs. The PRU seems interesting but looks like a real PITA to write code for.
