Thanks for your reply. I've been working with Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson hardware lately, and there is a pretty interesting (ahem) dichotomy in terms of friendliness of support and community. (maybe Nvidia's paying customers get more) I can see how one working at a very low level might regard both as being not sufficient.
I have some good memories of using TI embedded hardware (MSP430) and the documentation being pretty good. That's a different paradigm than a whole Unix system, though, even if it's a system that's going to be used for embedded stuff. It's nice to hear the Beagle situation is good. I remember those boards getting a hearty endorsement from Andrew Tanenbaum but otherwise I don't know too much about them.
