BeagleLogic Standalone
https://hackaday.io/project/25745-beaglelogic-standalone
BeagleLogic, now as a turnkey and standalone 16-channel Logic Analyzer
Three years ago, the BeagleLogic project showed how to use a BeagleBone as a 100MSa/s, 14-channel logic analyzer.
BeagleLogic Standalone is the next step in the evolution of BeagleLogic from just an add-on to the BeagleBone to a standalone logic analyzer in itself. It is based on the OSD3358 System-In-Package (SiP) from Octavo Systems and increases the specifications to 16-channels @100MSa/s and adds Gigabit Ethernet vs. 100Mbps on the BeagleBone(s).
BeagleLogic standalone is alive and booting! Check out the project logs for more information

Hands on with PocketBeagle
https://hackaday.com/2017/12/07/hands-on-with-pocketbeagle/
[Ken Shirriff] is no stranger to the pages of Hackaday. His blog posts are always interesting, and the recent one talking about the PocketBeagle is no exception. If you are old enough to remember the days when a Unix workstation set you back tens of thousands of dollars, you won’t be able to help yourself marveling at a Linux computer with 45 I/O pins, 8 analog inputs, 512M of RAM, and a 1 GHz clock, that fits in your pocket and costs $25. What’s more the board’s CPU has two 200 MHz auxiliary CPUs onboard to handle I/O without having to worry about Linux overhead.
[Ken] shows a small snippet of C code that outputs a 40 MHz square wave no matter what the Linux OS is doing. In this way you can use Linux for the parts of your application that are not that critical, and use the slave processors to handle real time processing.
