Hey Chris, AFAIK, the Pi has better HDMI support compared to the Beagle but then it was designed more for multimedia. The Beagle PRUs have the advantage that they have access to some of the Beagle Processor RAM. That gives them a bit of an advantage over the PI/32 bit hybrid using SPI. > > Somepeople are using BeagalBone Black boards because the BBB has those > PRUs. This is like the Pi/STM32 hybrid, logically identical. >
I did a project last year where I used a PIC32 as a Vehicle CAN bus monitor collecting CAN packets, timestamping and logging GPS information during the 20 seconds or so it took the Pi3 to boot. Once the PI was alive, an app written initially in Python but then changed to C for speed, would gather and file the messages chronologically for later forwarding up to a cloud database. Someone else wrote that software. Our connection between the two applications the files and pipes. In developing that project I chose the PIC32 over an STM32 because price of the processor wasn't a consideration but having an ICD-3 In Circuit Debugging tool was invaluable. I used the free PIC32 compiler and MPLAB IDE. Development board that could hold MIKROE Click modules https://www.mikroe.com/click The CLICK boards made changing our minds really easy. What's available for the STM32 that is equivalent to the In Circuit Debuggers from Microchip?
