[HH] BeagleBone Black Has Arrived

[Kurt Keville]

I miss some of the available functionality of earlier revisions of 
the BB... a full C64 DSP chipset was available on the OMAP3 but not 
the new Sitaras apparently... alas, I am just now getting hip to the 
value of the C64 and lack that on my otherwise Mighty Pandas... the 
Pandas have Ducati; I think to get better DSP capable SBCs you have 
to journey down the Class Aves, Order Falconiformes TI taxonomy branches...
