Rev C (2014) has 4GB flash on board so it comes with Debian pre-installed. My older board has 2GB but I can use a MicroSD card for additional space.

Rev C BBB's are available for $55 from various and sundry including Sparkfun and Adafruit and Mouser.

The official site is http://beagleboard.org/

TI Sitara processor http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara

Reason to use BBB instead of RPI? Android.

Capes

http://Chipsee.com/ 7" LCD capacitive sensor

I probably bought mine at Logic Supply. http://www.logicsupply.com/bbb-exp-c/ They have downloads for it.

TNC-X $43 http://www.tnc-x.com/TNCBlack.htm based on a PIC processor; full schematics available

Debug cable

I just ordered this serial debug cable for $10: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12977 Works for Raspberry Pi, too.

I need to look at the generic adapter I bought a couple years ago to see if it does 3.3v.
