what's your favorite raspberry pi? please respond by saying "my favorite raspberry pi is..." and then suggest another single board computer that isn't a raspberry pi. im trying to genericize the trademark, you see
Oh, my favorite raspberry pi is the BeagleBone. They've got their own standard for raspberry pi shields and one of them, the Bela, is really good for DIY audio stuff.
I've got this one device called the BeagleBone Fire, it's a raspberry pi with an FPGA integrated. Looking forward to what I can do with it…
1. This weird arm7tdmi development board I got long ago in college that I worked out how to program with just a sample asm file, the exe for writing programs to it, and a multimeter to figure out which pins I could use as GPIO. I eventually figured out how to get C++ code compiling for it, and eventually made a 8x8 display for it out of red LEDs. I'm amazed olimex still sells it. https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/OKI/OKI-H5003/
2. the "Arty A7-35" Artix-35T Development Board, which is some FPGA. A friend once gave me two of them on the condition that I dogfood the tutorial he was going to use for a RISC-V workshop. I never ran RISC-V on it, but I built a midi synthesizer out of one of them.
I picked up a box of these years ago. Very low power, also just very "low" in general. I used one to make a bottle of glowing liquid that changes colors when you shake it. Had to rewrite all of the hsv math to use ints instead of floats so the program would fit. Great fun.
Gemma may be small, but do not be fooled by its size! It's a tiny sewable microcontroller board, built around the Atmel ATtiny85, a little chip with a lot of power.
Honorable mention: every beagle bone I've ever owned (black, and ahead-v). They're OK for running Linux on if you've got nothing better handy I guess. They each have a tantalizing feature that I've never been able to figure out how to use, mostly for half a lack of trying. The Beagle Bone Black had "Programmable Realtime Units" (PRU) which happens to also be my mother's name. For the Beagle Bone Ahead-V it's the "3D GPU" that the box proudly advertises with no specs.

•@mhoye it's gaming on a potato, but in real life!
