1. Raspberry Pi：
Raspberry Pi是价格低廉的微型计算机，具有信用卡的物理尺寸。它运行多种Linux版本，并且可以执行普通计算机可以完成的几乎所有任务。 Raspberry Pi还通过通用I / O引脚批准了接口传感器和执行器。由于Raspberry Pi运行Linux操作系统，因此它“开箱即用”支持Python 。它还提供了一组通用输入/输出(GPIO)引脚，使您能够管理用于物理计算的数字组件并发现物联网(IoT)。
2. Beaglebone Black：
Beaglebone Black是由Texas Instruments开发的开放式硬件单板计算机。尽管它可以与Raspberry Pi媲美，但Beaglebone Black的目标市场却非同寻常。与其专注于业余爱好者，不如说是专注于工程的董事会。 Raspberry Pi和Beaglebone Black之间的区别：
