Useful references and websites

The BeagleBoard is an inexpensive single-board computer with a lot of potential. The MATLAB/Simulink rapid prototyping techniques reduce the burden of embedded software development. By combining these two technologies, we have got a fantastic tool to realize your unique ideas.

In this book, we have been aiming to provide you with examples that are useful and give you a good starting point for your advanced systems. The BeagleBoard and MATLAB communities are growing faster by the day, and the best place to find related projects, ideas, and solutions are on their community websites and forums, such as:
