pine64 - the $15 64-bit single board computer

obviously it needs an IO board and software, the latter being the biggest part of what makes the BCS what it is...

How does this affect the next hardware generation already in the works
Is it possible to leverage this tech to give us a more feature rich and responsive controller?

yeah, still working angles to get my 4-20mA ;-)

Why would this be dramatically or functionally different than an RPi of an Arduino for i/o?

You could create a controller from either but would not be turnkey. As you said, its about the software.

no, not fundamentally different... price is lower, 4-core, multiple OS's...

I love, love, love my BCS.... but the TI LM3S series chip in the BCS is the same timeline as the original iPhone... :(
