Raspberry-Pi-Alternative for network: BeagleBone Black
As a NAS or Router, the Raspberry is good for Pi, as the Ethernet Adapter is connected via USB to the SoC (System-on-Chip). A cheap Alternative to the BeagleBone Black, a mini computer ARM-based, the network Chip is directly connected to the SoC.
- High computational performance with the more powerful Cortex-A8 processor core.
- A suitable Router for entry into the control technology, is weakening but in the Multimedia use.
- You get the BeagleBone Black, currently for about 60 Euro.
BeagleBone Black instead of Raspberry
Mini PC for the car: OLinuXino Micro
The OLinuXino Micro is a mini computer with a high input voltage range and battery connection, which is why he trumps, especially in the use of on-the-go. If you get in addition, a Touch Display, you can turn the Mini PC into a stripped-down Tablet.
- Numerous Hardware-Video Codecs make the OLinuXino to the perfect Multimedia device.
- In combination with a Touch-screen of the Minicomputer to the Pseudo-Tablet. Unfortunately, Wi - Fi or cellular Chip missing him, why him, with no extension, only by a Fast Ethernet connection to connect to the Internet.
- The Mini-PC OLinuXino Micro will get you to 70 Euro.
Fine All-Round Alternative: Cubietruck
A Mini-PC for all areas of the Cubietruck. This mini computer on ARM-based is significantly more expensive than the Raspberry Pi, convinced but with all the Extras that can bring such a pipsqueak:
- HDMI and VGA ports allow you to connect to all screens; via SPDIF output or headphone Jack, you connect the device for sound output.
- In the Cubietruck Gigabit Ethernet are built-in connection as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Adapter. So the device is suitable also as a NAS, Router, or private Cloud for your own home.
- For the Cubietruck pay you currently a little more than 100 Euro.
