BACK IN STOCK – Beagle Bone

Window-68

BACK IN STOCK – Beagle Bone! New from the fine people who have brought us the Beagle Board, we now have a smaller, lighter, but powerful single board linux computer, Beagle Bone! We like this move to a more compact and integrated SBC. For example, there is onboard Ethernet and USB host, as well as a USB client interface (a FTDI chip for shell access). It even comes preloaded with Angstrom Linux on the 4GB microSD card!

Package includes:

  • Fully assembled and tested BeagleBone
  • Mini-B USB cable
  • 4GB microSD card with preloaded Angstrom Linux
  • MicroSD to SD card adapter

We also suggest getting a 5V/2A DC power adapter and our Proto Cape!

At over 1.5 billion Dhrystone operations per second and vector floating point arithmetic operations, the BeagleBone is capable of not just interfacing to all of your robotics motor drivers, location or pressure sensors and 2D or 3D cameras, but also running OpenCV, OpenNI and other image collection and analysis software to recognize the objects around your robot and the gestures you might make to control it. Through HDMI, VGA or LCD expansion boards, it is capable of decoding and displaying multiple video formats utilizing a completely open source software stack and synchronizing playback over Ethernet or USB with other BeagleBoards to create massive video walls. If what you are into is building 3D printers, then the BeagleBone has the extensive PWM capabilities, the on-chip Ethernet and the 3D rendering and manipulation capabilities all help you eliminate both your underpowered microcontroller-based controller board as well as that PC from your basement.

  • Board size: 3.4″ x 2.1″
  • Shipped with 4GB microSD card with the Angstrom Distribution with node.js and Cloud9 IDE
  • Single cable development environment with built-in FTDI-based serial/JTAG and on-board hub to give the same cable simultaneous access to a USB device port on the target processor
  • Industry standard 3.3V I/Os on the expansion headers with easy-to-use 0.1″ spacing
  • On-chip Ethernet, not off of USB
  • 256MB of DDR2
  • 700-MHz super-scalar ARM Cortex™-A8
  • Easier to clone thanks to larger pitch on BGA devices (0.8mm vs. 0.4mm), no package-on-package memories, standard DDR2 vs. LPDDR, integrated USB PHYs and more.

  1. At the top you say 4GB microSD, at the bottom 2GB. Which is it.

  2. @brett – they’re shipping them to us with 4gb now (we’ll triple check the boxes as well)

  3. Is it a 4GB or 2GB SD card? 1st and last paragraphs seem to differ.

  4. @dan – 4gb is what’s shipping

  5. Received my Beaglebone from Adafruit and it’s great. Beaglebone came with 4gb micro sd (Angstrom/SDK), Altoid’s tin and micro usb cable.

    Does Adafruit have plans to sell the DVI Cape when it’s out?
