The OS is burned into NAND flash. It is a quad-core computing beast. It can sense if it's being abused, hence all of the sensors. (Of course a special daemon needs to be written to assess abuse) And it's ready to integrate with a variety of cap-sense sensors for fine-tuned implementation specific controls. It's programmable via mBed, to facilitate rapid development, should one choose to control the "bare metal, and bypass the OS. This is not, however, recommended for beginners. It will, of course, support up to 1TB of storage on the SD card (SDXC), to appease the data-logging happy developers out there. And should operating temperature and/or barometric pressure need to be assessed at the boards own location those sensors are provided. Mind you, they're low cost ones. (i.e. think submersible operations. Perhaps there's an emergency power shutoff that could be triggered on sudden pressure changes minimizing the risk of a short preserving data intergrity, of not also board integrity... you did seal your data storage to prevent it from being corrupted while under water, right?)
