BeagleBoard BeagleBone® Black
BeagleBoard BeagleBone® Black is a low-cost, community-supported development platform for developers and hobbyists, based on the Sitara AM3358BZCZ100 Arm Cortex-A8 32-Bit RISC microprocessor from Texas Instruments. The compact BeagleBone Black is small enough to fit into a mint tin, but includes features such as 256Mb x16 DDR3L 4Gb (512MB) SDRAM, 32KB EEPROM, and 4GB embedded MMC (eMMC) Flash as the default boot source. The BeagleBone Black is also populated with a single microSD connector to act as a secondary boot source for the board and, if selected as such, can be the primary boot source. The BeagleBone Black supports four boot modes, including eMMC boot, microSD boot, serial boot, and USB boot. A switch is provided to allow switching between the modes.
The Beagleboard.org® platform has a proven track record of facilitating innovation from concept to market and BeagleBone® Black's enhanced feature set enables developers to turn ideas into prototypes more easily than ever. Whether operating standalone or in conjunction with another computer, this new BeagleBone will provide developers easy access to industry standard interfaces and a well-developed ecosystem of software and tools. The original BeagleBone's cape plug-in boards are also compatible with the BeagleBone Black, making easy integration with previous projects yet another advantage.
