[edit]
  • The board is not actually produced by Texas Instruments. It was designed by Texas Instruments employees and is produced by a contract manufacturer for Digi-Key. It is a bit of a fine line, but other development boards produced *for* TI are generally available through TI for all TI distributors and with TI support. In this case, Digi-Key has worked with the contract manufacturer who built the prototypes for the TI engineers performing the design and is funding the board production, to the best of my knowledge. --JadonK (talk) 17:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The OMAP3530 processor is not a chipset. The Pandora will use the same chipset as the Beagle Board, which is the combination of the OMAP3530 processor and TWL4030 analog companion device. --JadonK (talk) 17:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it isn't fair to only say that Raspberry PI has a faster GPU. I'm not certain that it is true, but the Raspberry PI is also an ARM11 and would be quite a bit slower for general processing (2-3X slower?). I work on the BeagleBoard project, so it isn't fair for me to comment on the main page, but I thought I'd point it out here. (talk) --68.61.13.123 (talk) 18:49, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. I find consensus here for a move especially given that the two oppose like comments have both been answered without the original opposer commenting further. Dpmuk (talk) 01:39, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similar products section

[edit]

Why is this section necessary? I don't see the Iphone 4 article having a section listing similar products. Seems like hidden advertisements for the competitors. If anything, those products should be listed in the "See Also" section. AadaamS (talk) 13:04, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I just cleaned it up, getting rid of that section and clearing out some other links to products that are not at all similar or related.
BTW, ran into this: http://www.ebv.com/en/products/categories/details/product/ebvbeagle-board.html Don't know whether it has a place in the article. --Guy Macon (talk) 08:51, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Good work! I don't have a strong opinion on whether or not to specifically include the EBV Bagle Board link. Without knowing the Wikipedia policy on the number of External links by heart I think there are already enough external links. The official Beagle Board website and a few more ought to be enough.

BeagleBone Black photos?

[edit]

Could anyone please provide photos? Nemissimo (talk) 08:55, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

beaglebone graphics

[edit]

the table claims the begalbone black has a powervr SGX530 like the other boards. The diagram at http://www.ti.com/general/docs/datasheetdiagram.tsp?genericPartNumber=AM3358&diagramId=43666 and the datasheet only say it has a "POWERVR SGX™ Graphics Accelerator subsystem". I found a few posts on the internet stating it has a powervr SGX530 but nothing I'd consider a reliable source. Plugwash (talk) 10:53, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BeagleBoard-X15

[edit]

I would like to add some new information about the new (currently yet to be released) BeagleBoard-X15. There is a substantial amount of confirmed specifications and I have booted a working pre-release board. Just a thought, might get around to it soon. Grokjtrip 17:28, 03 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on BeagleBoard. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

checkY An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Some news from Sister Projects :)

[edit]

Hi folks! I have some good news for you!
Commons:

Maybe someone could make SVG also?
Any volunteers for contributing missing pics from BeagleBoard.org website? ;-)

Wikidata:

  • 2 new items was created:
Could someone be so nice to supplement them and, maybe... create new Items for the rest of BeagleBoard boards? I hope so! :)

Add BeagleBone AI ?

[edit]

It would be nice to add a section on the BeagleBone AI:

http://beagleboard.org/ai

It uses a more powerful processor, and is pin-header compatible to the BeagleBone Black.

It is geared toward automotive vision (supporting car assistant systems with cameras and such), and machine learning software.

To honestly mention disadvantages as well, the BeagleBone AI needs significantly more power and requires an additional fan for any modestly computing-intensive task (such as compiling a kernel). That might or might not improve with future system software releases.

What is also very interesting is the Programmable Real-time Unit (PRU or PRU-ICSS) of the BeagleBone CPUs. These allow to meet "hard" real-time demands, as are typical for industrial and robotic systems, and also allow to implement many protocols like CAN or RS485 in software, which previously would have required dedicated hardware.

Such a chip makes it possible to meet safety-critical real-time demands within a general-purpose system such as Linux. I believe this type of chip merits an own Article.
