Probably the biggest difference is the user base and their attitude. Asking questions on this forum that have a very simple answer (to somebody who knows) can result in some extreme responses, almost mocking the person asking for not knowing, the thread above and the one I referenced being an example.
With us it was a perception that we were spending more time finding answers than getting anything done, especially once we managed to overcome the gargantuan struggle of just getting the board to communicate with our machines. When we discovered the anomalies with the power supply, trying to power off a battery, it was a lesson in frustration, with very disjointed documentation and no clear answers as to what was going on. When we tried to implement OpenCAN, we gave up. With RPi, better hardware add ons, friendlier user base = less hassle and happier users. Until RPi 2 came out, we would have soldiered on, but once that happened it was pointless. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
