Connectivity options
The BeagleBone is a very flexible device and offers many options to connect to a mobile device, such as a phone. One should not assume that connection means a full network connection; there are levels of connectivity. Connectivity can be divided into two general groups. The first is the full network connectivity and the second group is protocol-specific connectivity. There are benefits and drawbacks to each group. Most options will require additional hardware on the BeagleBone.
