How to choose my board ?
Strong points to pay attention at
- performances : which systems does the board support (and with which performance)
- cost
- size of the board : single board compute (SBC) versus computers
- transportabilty : some boards have a battery and a screen embedded
- gpio : do i want to plug hardware using the gpio
