Hardware Renaissance or not, the OLinuXino Open Source Software and Hardware controllers are great and are really Open Source - all the sources including all the CAD files for the hardware are available on Github. You can reuse them for your own personal or commercial projects. The best part is that OLinuXino use a widely available microcontroller that is also very cheap even in small amounts. The community is great, there are plenty of tutorials, they are a little bit scattered around the wiki, the forums, the documentation... but this can only make it more challenging to set up everything!
