I bought a BeagleBone Black for miner controller. I setup cgminer 3.4 on it, and successfully control my Avalon. This is for my next miner based on bitfury chips.

This card is a great balance between price, performance, electricity consumption and reliability

I have a few BeagleBone Black for sale on Bitmit if you are interested.

I'm running Pi and have considered trying Beaglebone as well.
Thanks for the info.

Good controller
I keep getting free Raspberry Pi's when I order my Beaglebone inventory, so we'll soon be adding Pi cases to the lineup.
Also I'm working on a standalone/offline Pi based bitcoin paper wallet printer.
The BeagleBone is cool because of all the on board IO pins, and that it's open source hardware - a great starting point for building your own unique board once you have it everything proto'd up using the expansion headers. The downside is that the resolution on the hdmi port is crap, so it's not a good media player platform. The Pi design is also pretty old, so it will be interesting to see what they come out with next.

The only thing I like that i've seen about them so far is those 3d printed bitcoin cases you can buy from mineninja.com that glow in the dark one looks pretty fancy but i'll stick with my rpi for now.
So I'm sure most of you are aware of this little guy. The Beagle Bone black is about $15 more then the Pi and sports a AM335x 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor. The onboard ram is DDR3 and it carrys an onboard 2gb eMMC memory aside from the micro SD. It sports only one usb port
I'm gonna give one a shot on one of these arrays. Has anyone checked this unit out?

I have, one is on my desk right now.
I got one with the view of doing a MinePeon port some time in the future (and I still might). At the moment it does not offer any significant advantage over the Pi (at least none that I can see) so its not a priority.

There are tons of lil cheap ARM devices that can be had for really cheap. I myself have an MK802 II that host USB miners pretty damn sweet, and I picked it up for $40 a year ago.

Checkout mineninja.com they offer a presetup beaglebone black for mining. They also sell block erupters and a fancy case for the bbb
