BeagleBone Black Rev C Development Board Cortex-A8 Board Open-Source Hardware Compact Development Platform

Description

Description:

The BeagleBone Black (BBONE-BLACK-4G) is a low-cost, high-expansion-focused BeagleBoard using a low-cost Sitara™ AM3358 ARM® Cortex™-A8 processor from Texas Instruments. The BBONE-BLACK-4G features TI’s Sitara™ AM3358AZCZ100 microprocessor, which is based on ARM®Cortex™-A8 core with enhanced image, graphics processing, peripherals and industrial interface options such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS.

The board is equipped with 256Mb x16 DDR3L 4Gb (512MB) SDRAM, 32KB EEPROM, and 4GB embedded MMC (eMMC) Flash as the default boot source. The board 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.
