NEW PRODUCT – BeagleBone Black Rev C – 4GB Flash – Pre-installed Debian

NewImage

As of May 12, 2014 we are shipping Rev C. We have discontinued selling Rev B. There are no exchanges or “upgrades” for Rev B to Rev C.

Limit 1 (one) per customer, orders cannot be combined. Limited supply available.

If you liked the BeagleBone Black Rev B, you will love the Rev C! The Rev C still has a blistering 1GHz processor and 512MB onboard DDR3 RAM and like the old one it has two microcontrollers, two 46-pin headers, micro HDMI for audio/video output, USB ports, 10/100 Ethernet and other I/O features. The Rev C is an ultra-powered embedded computer that can fit in a mint tin.

The new model includes 4GB of eMMC built-in storage instead of the Rev B’s 2GB. With the doubled storage and faster eMMC, the developers were able to make the Rev C’s most significant change: shipping the BeagleBone Black with Debian Linux pre-loaded on the board’s flash instead of Angstrom Linux. Debian Linux is a more user-friendly operating system than Angstrom and the switch to Debian is partly the result of consumer demand (especially from Adafruit users, thanks!)

Of course the BeagleBone Black Rev C is an open board so if you want to load it back up with Angstrom or other Linux-based distributions like Ubuntu or Android, you can.

The rev C comes with a mini-B cable for powering it up ASAP. No microSD card is included as the BBB has onboard flash storage – and no SD card loading is required to get started. For this revision, CircuitCo has also partnered with Element14 to try and offset some of the demand.

We’ll be filling in with more information on supported accessories as we test them for compatibility. For now we suggest picking up a 5V 2A power supply and a micro-HDMI cable. If you want to use it ‘head-less’, a USB console cable is suggested as the ‘Black does not have an onboard USB-to-Serial converter like the original BeagleBone

If you need a nice display to go along with your ‘Bone, Check out our fine selection of HDMI displays, we’ve tested all of them with the Beagle Bone Black Rev C.

The BBB manual has lots of starting information and pointers for getting the most of your BeagleBone Black.

In stock and shipping now!
