Derivatives
IGEPv2 BOARD
BeagleBoard-derived design adding ethernet (SMSC LAN922i,) 802.11b/g WiFi (Marvell 86W8686B1,) Bluetooth 2.0 (CSR BC4ROM/21e,) and with 512 MiB each DDR SDRAM and NAND Flash.
Embest DevKit8000
Similar to BeagleBoard, but does not use Package-on-Package memory. Only has 128 MiB each DDR SDRAM and NAND Flash. Has ethernet, provided by a Davicom DM9000 chip.
EBVBeagle Board
Clone of BeagleBoard C2, should be identical in layout and function, ships with DVI and serial cables, AC adapter, 2 GiB MMC card, USB hub, and USB ethernet adapter.
ICETEK-OMAP3530-MINI
Does not use Package-on-Package memory. Has more exposed pins on expansion interface. v2 is similar to BeagleBoard B revisions, albeit only with 128 MiB NAND Flash. v3 is similar to BeagleBoard C2, but with 512 MiB NAND Flash instead of 256.
