One solution I've seen is taking a beagle bone black and adding a custom board to it. I like it better than raspberry PI because it seems to have a much better processor, a true ethernet interface and best of all it is shaped similar to a Arduino and so a shield like board could be used to extend it for your product.</span></font></div>
