Single-Board Computer
makerA single-board computer is a complete computer built on a single circuit board.
expanded
Single-board computers (SBCs) integrate the microprocessor, memory, and input/output (I/O) interfaces on one circuit board, supporting a wide range of applications from prototyping in developmental environments to use in embedded systems. They are valued for their compact form factor, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, often supporting expandable interfaces for peripheral connections in IoT (Internet of Things) projects and educational purposes.
examples
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4 GB RAM
Used as a low-cost computing solution for educational projects, multimedia applications, and home automation systems.
Arduino Uno R3 featuring Atmel ATmega328P
Commonly employed in prototyping digital and sensor-based projects where space constraints exist.
BeagleBone Black with AM335x 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor
Utilized in industrial control systems and real-time data processing applications due to its robustness and support for numerous connectivity options.
