Exploring alternatives to the Raspberry Pi

The IoT landscape is filled with a variety of single-board computers and microcontrollers, each offering unique specifications that cater to specific project needs. By comparing these alternatives with the Raspberry Pi, we can make informed decisions about the ideal platform for our unique requirements. The following is a breakdown of some of the alternatives to the Raspberry Pi that we may consider for our IoT projects. We will only focus on the Raspberry Pi and not the Raspberry Pi Pico as we will be using the former for this chapter’s programming projects:

  • BeagleBone Black: The BeagleBone Black features a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 512MB DDR3 RAM, 4 GB flash storage, and many connectivity options. Its distinct feature, the Programmable Real-Time Units (PRUs), allow for precise real-time processing, ideal for applications such as robotics or industrial automation. Despite this, the Raspberry Pi remains popular due to its...
