My BeagleBone Black just died.  A new one will probably arrive next 
year, considering holiday shipping and postal strike.  So, anyone who 
wants to sell their BeagleBone Black (old 2GB or new 4GB), contact me 
off-list.

I thought BeagleBone Black came with only 512MG RAM.

512MB ram, yes. I meant eMMC size.


Curious, what do you use it for?

I've been trying to turn embedded boards I have into "scriptable" keyboard, mouse, and (touch) screen:

BeagleBone Black -- success, still supported.
Odroid U3+ -- success, but discontinued.
Raspberry Pi B+ (model 1) -- failed, due hardware limitation. Zero 2W has been ordered.

While doing that, I fell into rabbit hole, and trying out more features in BeagleBone Black, like

reading/writing GPIO pins -- eg. reading push buttons, turning on LED
ADC (analog to digital converter) -- 12-bit (0 to 4095)
PWM (pulse width modulation) -- eg. turning on buzzer
eQEP (enhanced quadrature encoder pulse) -- eg. simple "counter".
