As our transceiver selection improved and became microcontroller integrated, we no longer require external processing. Therefore, connected hosts (when our devices do not operate stand alone) are less useful.
Update 1
To bridge the gap presented by controller useless connected hosts, we add the requirement of monolithic kernel friendly operating environment and IP network stack integration.
This disqualifies the Arduino, Micro:bit, and NodeMCU hosts, which we replace with Khadas Vim and Up Board computers.
Update 2
Due to Khadas unavailability, we are back to the mostly original lineup:
- Raspberry Pi
- Beaglebone Black
- Arduino Uno
- NXP FRDM
- UP2 Board
- Micro:bit
