BeagleBoard.org

An opensource hardware and software project, the boards are low-cost, fan-less single-board computers based on low-power Texas Instruments processors featuring the ARM Cortex-A series core. The project is managed by the BeagleBoard.org Foundation, based in Michigan.

Boards

  • Single Board Computers, designed to fit into an Altoids mints tin (the PocketBeagle will fit into an Altoids Smalls tin), and capable of running Linux.

BeagleBoard Black

BBB Rev. B

  • 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8, 512MB DDR3L, 4GB eMMC
  • microHDMI, microSD, USB host, 10/100 Ethernet, 5V input

BBB Rev. C

  • With 4 GB RAM vs 512 MB in Ver. B, the newer board costs about $20 more. Otherwise they are very similar.

BeagleBone Blue

  • Designed for robotics and other embedded applications, the BB Blue board lacks HDMI, but does offer WiFi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity.

BeagleBone Green

  • Build by Seeed Studio, this version is less expensive than the BB Black, but also has fewer features. For instance, it does not have an HDMI video port. Instead, it has two Grove connectors.

BeagleBone Pocket

  • This smallest of the Beagle boards will fit into an Altoids Smalls tin. It uses micro USB to connect, and other than the lack of other I/O ports, it is suprisingly full-featured, with 512 MB RAM, a 1 GHz ARM Cortex CPU, and numerous GPIO pins.

BeagleBone AI

  • Currently the most advanced BeagleBoard, the BB AI has a quad core CPU (1.5GHz), 1GB RAM, 16GB eMMC, Gigabit Ethernet and dual band wireless. Like the other "full-sized" Beagle boards, it can fit into an Altoids mint tin (with cutouts for the various ports).
