The BeagleBone is a low-cost, open hardware design originally from Texas Instruments which can be purchased or duplicated. It runs Linux in a very small form factor. BeagleBone uses the TI AM3358/9 SoC based on an ARM Cortex-A8 processor core featuring the ARMv7-A architecture (same a cell phones including DaVinci and Neon co-processors). It can be used either standalone or as a USB or Ethernet-connected system.

Directions
We will be meeting in a computer lab at the southwest edge of Nova Southeastern University’s campus in Davie. The building is actually part of a shopping plaza adjoining the campus and directly off University Drive.
FROM I-595: Exit at University Drive and head south. Go through the intersection at 30th Ave (Abe Fischler Blvd) and pass the beige Nova medical school building. Turn left into the plaza immediately south of the main campus. There is a Pier One store near the road to serve as a landmark, and as you enter the plaza you will see a large Nova Southeastern University sign ahead.
NOTE: There is another university sign at the opposite end end of the plaza. Enter the building under the sign at the north end (on the left as you face the plaza). The street address is 3424 S. University Drive, Davie FL, 33328.
