There’s renewed interest in making linux a first class PX4 platform. I’ll send you an invite to slack to talk to other interested developers.
Out of curiosity could you explain why you’re interested in the Beaglebone Blue instead of Raspberry Pi Navio2?
I’ve recently picked up a navio2 to put on a car running PX4, but didn’t thoroughly research the options.
First, Beaglebone Blue looks like it’s got everything I want all on one board. Second, it’s got more CPU horsepower, plus two additional PRU microcontrollers for dedicated realtime stuff if necessary. Third, a library called “libroboticscape” already exists and does some interesting heavy lifting.
Finally, everybody around me works with a Beagle of one form or another.
I’ve worked some with RPi but not with Navio2, so I can’t comment on that one way or another.
