So, that extra module that I've ordered. Can I run it with anything else but the main control boards?
Let's say rPi?

Please advice.

It's a BeagleBone Black (Circuito, Newark or Farnell) inside the KNC as far as I can tell. Similar to the RaspeBerry Pi -- but that's all.

which is mounted to the actual controller board..  
I don't see how you'd connect the data ribbon to a BBB without one.

What a great morning...Gox @ 427.....coinbase @ 390... nice!

Suggestion for KNC's GEN2... Native WiFi   Wink Wink Wink
a small pci slot on the controller board...and a 5 dollar 10/100 wifi card...

sorry for being pedantic but it's a plain BeagleBone, not the Black version. And if memory serves KnC removed the USB interface. 

It's a custom-manufatcured BeagleBone Black with some components missing.  Components which presumably were not needed for this application, like the HDMI output stuff.

I have a regular BBB here, and the PCB itself looks identical.
