Ah, I had no idea; I hadn't looked into the Beaglebone Black particularly closely.
There's still a fundamental problem with any of these solutions: they will not, they cannot compete on price with Gen7. That's just because replacing a $6 part with a $45 part is a bit of a non-starter. I think I could bring the electronics in under $100 with a beaglebone black. That makes it more affordable than RAMPS, but still more expensive than Gen7.
They're not the same target, I know, but the comparison will be made.
