The BeagleBone Black Industrial features a single-core Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor clocked at 1GHz, 512MB of DDR3 RAM, and 4GB of eMMC memory that holds the pre-installed Debian Linux operating system.

The Board can be installed with a predeveloped gaming cape. This will allow the user to create a hand-held gaming console with the touch of a few buttons. After having provided power to the board, Linux will automatically detect the cape and begin to run of its own accord.

The BeagleBone Black Industrial is ultimately for experimentation and learning. While this is the case, Ubuntu Linux can be installed onto the board after initial setup. With Ubuntu comes a wider range of applications that can be created. Ubuntu will allow the user to create motion detection devices through lines of code as well as creating robot software with the ROS (Robot Operating System).
