I am currently taking an Embedded systems course and the course required buying a BeagleBone Black Wireless single board computer. After I am done with my course I am wanting to work with Raspbian. Is it possible to run the Raspbian OS on a BeagleBone since they are both linux platforms?

The short answer is no. They don't have the same type of chip and would require different kernels and GPU code. Since you can run Debian on a BBB and Raspbian is Debian based there is not much to be gained.

  • Ok, so it could be run on the BBBw from a virtual machine? I assume that would kill performance but is it possible that way?

    Maybe, but again to what end? What would you gain? And none of the GPIO's etc will work.

    Spend $10 and buy a PI zero W, you will be much happier.
