PocketBeagle PRODUCT ID: POCKETBEAGLE DESCRIPTION The newest BeagleBoard.org board is PocketBeagle, an ultra-tiny-yet-complete Linux-enabled, community-supported, open-source USB-key-fob computer. PocketBeagle features an incredible low cost, slick design and simple usage, making PocketBeagle the ideal development board for beginners and professionals alike. You develop directly in a web browser and PocketBeagle can easily be set back to factory conditions, leaving you free to experiment. 1 KEY FEATURES Low cost Linux computer with tremendous expansibility Opportunity to learn many programming aspects from educators on-line Openness and flexibility tear-down limits on your imagination What is a USB key-fob computer PocketBeagle is the size of a tiny mint-tin (35mm by 55mm), less than half the size of the larger mint-tin or credit-card sized BeagleBone Black (55mm by 86mm). Unlike a desktop computer where you connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse, PocketBeagle is made to live inside your project and enables you to define its interfaces. PocketBeagle is easily programmed through a web browser running on any other connected desktop. What can I do with PocketBeagle Getting to the Linux command-line and text editor via your web browser is simple, providing you with a playground for programming and electronics. Exploring is made easy with several available libraries and tutorials and many more coming. Once you get a bit familiar with Linux and electronics, you are free to explore numerous more advanced projects from the community. The sky is no limit PocketBeagle makes a great starting point for building something as advanced as a computer for a CubeSat and there are several BeagleBone Black examples out there already today. Flying a bit lower, PocketBeagle is a good target for flight controller software, such as ArduPilot, similar to what is done on BeagleBone Blue but with the flexibility of choosing all your own sensors and interconnects. Touching the ground, the combination of a 1-GHz Linux computer and 2 powerful 200-MHz hard-real-time shared-memory programmable real-time (PRU) microcontrollers makes driving robotic machines like 3D printers, CNC mills and laser cutters fast and simple with software such as Redeem, MachineKit or BeagleG as great starting points. If youd like your ground-based machine to talk back to the cloud, the SPI, USB and UART expansion makes adding your own Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth and long-range wireless connectivity easy with Linux drivers and Node.JS or Python libraries to add smarts. If what you want is just fun, add a SPI-based display and run off of a single-cell LiPo battery to create your own custom gaming device with the sensors, such as cameras and software like OpenCV or just simple accelerometers, of your own choice to go on an adventure of your own. 2
