Hello,

According to the Onboard SDK, to build an app I need:
"

• Your own Onboard Computer with an available TTL UART port.
  
  • For x86 platforms, we recommend small-form-factor PCs that can be powered from the aircraft's bus
  • The DJI Manifold is an excellent computer meant to harness the full potential of DJI OSDK
  • Among embedded systems, we recommend the STM32F4 (and the Discovery board)
    

"

What is an "onboard computer with an available TTL UART port?" I'd like to find a cheaper alternative to the DJI Manifold, but can't find an onboard computer online anywhere. What should I be looking for?

Similarly, I don't think Mac's are x86 or embedded systems, how do I know which to get if my development happens on a mac?

Thanks!
