The workhorse behind snickerdoodle is an ARM-based System on Chip (SoC) from Xilinx called “Zynq.”

These powerful little chips - which have roots in industrial, aerospace, and defense applications - allow hardware to be reconfigured with software, freeing you to accomplish things that simply aren’t possible with regular microprocessors (like those in the Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone - which have roots in DVRs and cell phones).
