[arm-allstar] Hi, I'm new here :-)

[Doug Crompton]

Dave,

 Good to hear from you and welcome to ham radio. I think Dave has spoken
with you. The BBB our first supported board is basically no longer
supported with updates for a number of reasons. It costs more, has less
capability and is not quite as well supported as the Pi. It also has a
quirky boot method that makes it hard to support across different board
versions. If you have not already tried it the V1.5 pi 2/3 code is very
nice and has many new features including the ability to do online updates.
I think you will like it.
