BeagleBone

Not all BeagleBone users design their own Cape boards, but if you do, you certainly want to be able to use surface mount parts.  Our through hole BeagleBone Cape boards have many other features to make better use of the space on our board and give you more flexibility.  Our board also has a ground plane and pre-routed traces to reduce the need for jumpers.  We then bundle our SMT to DIP adapters with the BeagleBone Prototyping Cape board to make SOIC, QFP, QFN/DFN part of your workable solution.  You design with BeagleBone due to its power.  Why would you limit your design options?..you want to use that power.  Surface Mount is now part of the power you wield on your BeagleBone  projects courtesy of Schmartboard.
