I personally have not tried a Beagleboard, so those that know can let us know if I am incorrect. You can use a URI, but only with chan_simpleusb, which mean no DSP for squelch or tone decode/encode. You will need to provide those in the form of logic signals. The CPU of the Beagleboard just doesn't have enough horsepower. Another embedded option would be a RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module), here is a link:

I am doing basic research into hardware for my first node.
Can I use URi's which I already purchased on Beagle board or do I need to use the LOX board?
Any updates on getting the RPI up and working ? Last message I read indicated that it not quite there?
Should I just get a ITX motherboard and go from there first?
Any direction to other resources is appreciated.
I would prefer the final endpoint to be a small embedded package to deploy on a mountaintop that is visited yearly so need the robustness.

Thanks
Dave
