Raspberry Pi is broadly used for IoT, and there is a lot of software for it. But I would like to know about any completely open source designs, including software and hardware (PCB, not components).

I have heard about Banana Pi but I'm not sure if it's completely open source or if other alternatives exist.

The main requirement is to be fully compatible with any of the broadly existing software platforms (Arduino, Raspberry Pi).

Of course, the components used in PCB should be available to anyone.

The Postscapes IoT Hardware Guidebook lists quite a few:

  • BeagleBone
  • C.H.I.P.
  • Dragino
  • Espruino
  • Flutter
  • Hologram Dash
  • Kinoma
  • Libelium Waspmote
  • Marvin
  • Modulo
  • Particle
  • Seeeduino Cloud
  • SODAQ Autonomo
  • Spark Core
  • Tessel 2
  • Thunderboard Sense
  • TinyDuino

Judging by the names, there are a few derivatives of the Arduino. Furthermore, all devices running Linux should be more or less compatible with the Raspberry Pi.

I can strongly recommend the particle products! Official website

They are all open source (Hardware and Software) and there is a great community.

They offer the particle photon which is a wifi development board and the particle electron, a cellular development board.

The main requirement is to be fully compatible with any of the broadly existing software platforms (Arduino, RaspberryPi)

Their newest feature is also to access the particle cloud from an RaspberryPi, which is currently in beta but already pretty cool. Source
