Wanted to make a quick BLE to Wifi gateway. Are there alternatives to Raspberry Pi that can run embedded Linux or Android and have Wifi and BLE for a comparable price or a bit more (sub $100)? To blow the field even wider open - if I wanted to make a BLE to Wifi bridge, there are drivers for the Pi, but there are also super cheap tablets these days that can run Android and so the same thing.
I am using the pcDuino. There are many versions.
I think the beaglebone has the best IO
The pcDuino I have has a hard drive port. So mine is bolted to the back of a mini hard drive.
The PI probably has the best video processing. Get the latest version!
I think there is not that much difference.
Look at forums for each. Choose the one with the best forum help.
