Anyone considering doing a raspberry pi project may want to look at the new beaglebone black. It is marginally more expensive, has better performance, is completely open and has a fairly good software support community. http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone%20Black

I second that opinion. The BeagleBone Black has a whole lot more pins available. Some of those pins are ADC (8), PWM (8), and I2C (2). I think the Pi only has 1 PWM and 1 I2C. I'm looking at a BeagleBone Black for in use of a robot I want to build. I do love my Raspberry Pi, though it's main use is opening my garage now.

Mine arrived two days ago. Beautifully laid out, two symmetrical 46-pin female headers, micro hdmi and microSDHC. Boots flawlessly and looks like a usb drive to Win 7. You need a magnifying glass to see some of the components on its underbelly.

John Clark has just created a new website called armhf.com which has step by step instructions for loading Ubuntu 13.04 into eMMC memory. Site's 20 days old and provides image downloads.

Chose this board as the controller for a Techno-Isel to 3D printer conversion.

Has anyone used one of these to make a MAME machine?

+1 for BeagleBone Black - what a great device.

Beware: running 'opkg update ; opkg upgrade' broke my system. (disk out of space) Recovered by reloading the OS.
