At the recent LCA'2014 conference in Perth I gave a couple of talks about research projects I'm working on with ardupilot. These show a couple of the things that we are working towards with APM.
The first is a talk on differential GPS which is part of a collaboration between Ben Nizette at ANU and myself.

The second talk is about the research project to run ardupilot directly on embedded Linux boards, which opens up some really interesting possibilities for APM:

These projects are really just a small part of what we are working on, but I thought a few people might be interested in them.

Do you think the BBB has enough power to run Arduplane/Arducopter and capture and send live HD video?
Hi Tridge, I thoroughly enjoyed both presentations. However lately it appears there is a problem with the second video...
Got my Beagle Bone Black..... my oh my, are we going to have fun.
The "APM on Linux: Porting ArduPilot to Linux" video can be seen at
Wasn't the video originally posted on some official linux organization channel? I wonder what happened to it.
cool thanx for putting up the youtube link mark,
ordering my beaglebone black now that I have that roadmap and of course this sensor cape design is immediately of interest

Swift, right now the main discussions are happening on drones-discuss mailing list and #beaglepilot IRC channel on freenode IRC servers.
Cheers, Tridge
Hi Swift,
I'm going through sort the same so we can share comments if you wish (although i'm compiling ArduCopter). You should do this in Debian.
Regarding your sensors, did you hook them at i2c-1 as described in here?. I'm having also some issues so i debug with gdb, have you tried it?. As tridge pointed out before, we hang out in #beaglepilot at Freenode. Feel free to join our conversation.
Regards
Thank you for this amazing work. It will help guide us in our integration of our systems into our WCUAVC competition plane. I just received a BBB and was wondering what to do with it. Now I know.
Quite cool! Thanks for this talk and sharing the information.
@Victor why would you prefer Debian ?
