What is port forwarding?
You will probably need to expose an IoT embedded device from the local network to the external internet in order to access it from anywhere in the world. You will want to do this safely. With specific router configuration knowledge, it is feasible to manually open ports so that you would be able to access a web server running on the Raspberry Pi via a specific port in it such as Port 22 for a SS...

The Beaglebone AI offers a distinctive advantage over the Raspberry Pi and other boards. It allows you to perform real time data processing or operations or to perform actions in “hard real time”, and this can be critical for IoT projects. A Programmable Real Time Unit is used by Beaglebone.
Introducing the PRU ICSThe Programmable Real-time Unit and Industrial Communications Subsystem is a s...
Read the articleBeaglebone and Raspberry Pi: a general comparison
Beaglebone has a key strength over Raspberry Pi and that is the larger number of input and output ports on the board. Beaglebone has 96 ports compared to 40 with the Raspberry Pi. The Beaglebone also features analogue inputs, important for directly connecting analogue sensors whereas Raspberry has digital inputs only. The BeagleBone features impressive Input/Output capabilities: the board has a di...

In general, Beaglebone is more customizable so you will strip out what you don’t need. You will use the processing power to run your applications and not the OS, then you would need to focus on ensuring your OS is always up to date, more frequently using OTA updates to run the latest libraries. With Raspberry Pi with more processing power, you will need less control. So it comes back to the entry...
