The article describers all the steps to setup the entire demo from hardware to Mono installation on the Raspberry Pi and example code execution.
Great to see another M2Mqtt use case but this time on a Linux environment !

The latest release of the open source BSP for the BeagleBone has several improvements and bug fixes.

Other improvements include the ability to add a custom boot splash screen that is displayed when first powered on and a progress bar that shows the load progress.
The prebuilt demo image was also refreshed to incorporate all the latest improvements and bug fixes.
