* 1Ghz DM3730 SoC (nearly identical to and fully software compatible with [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12796&contentId=52606 OMAP3630])
* 512MB DRAM
* microSD socket (push-push type, as used in some digital cameras etc.)
* on-board NAND flash removed
* expansion and LCD headers populated with connectors
* addition of camera port
* still no direct VGA connection possible
* serial connection via DB-9 connector rather than IDC header
* slight increase in board size, although mounting holes and expansion header locations are to be maintained

The BeagleBoard is a development board for the TI OMAP3530 system-on-chip.

Specifications

  • Texas Instruments OMAP3530 processor
  • 128 or 256 MiB DDR RAM (depends on revision)
  • 256 MiB NAND Flash
  • I/O connections:
    • DVI-D via HDMI connector
    • S-Video
    • USB On-The-Go
    • USB host (revision C only)
    • SD/MMC
    • Stereo audio
    • RS-232
    • JTAG
    • +5 VDC power

Hardware Revisions

B

The B revisions of the BeagleBoard do not have USB host support, and only have 128 MiB RAM.

C

The C revisions add a direct LCD interface, enable USB host support, and double RAM to 256 MiB. In addition, revision C3 provides support for a backup battery for the real time clock.

-xM rev. A

The -xM board incorporates the following revisions:

  • on-board USB hub with 10/100 Ethernet port and 4no. USB ports
  • 1Ghz DM3730 SoC (nearly identical to and fully software compatible with OMAP3630)
  • 512MB DRAM
  • microSD socket (push-push type, as used in some digital cameras etc.)
  • on-board NAND flash removed
  • expansion and LCD headers populated with connectors
  • addition of camera port
  • still no direct VGA connection possible
  • serial connection via DB-9 connector rather than IDC header
  • slight increase in board size, although mounting holes and expansion header locations are to be maintained
