Description

BeagleBoard-xM delivers extra MIPS with 1-GHz ARM® Cortex™-A8 performance from the Sitara™ ARM Cortex-A8 Processor and 512MB of low-power DDR RAM, enabling hobbyists, innovators and engineers to go beyond their current imagination and be inspired by the BeagleBoard.org community. Designed with the community’s inputs in mind, this open hardware design improves upon laptop-like performance and expandability, while staying at hand-held power levels. Direct connectivity is supported by the on-board four-port hub with 10/100 Ethernet, while maintaining a tiny 3.25” × 3.25” footprint.

The BeagleBoard-xM has broad open-source software support options, including community supported Ångström Linux distribution, Ubuntu or several other Linux distros. It also supports the TI Android DevKit and TI Sitara Linux EZ SDK::TI-supported operating systems that will get you up and running with easy set-up and a quick out-of-box experience. They include a GUI for launching demos, benchmarks and applications. Plus, you can quickly get started on development of your own application. Windows Embedded Compact 7 is also supported via Adeneo embedded.

The BeagleBoard-xM is a community-supported platform which can be the basis for building more complete systems, and as a target for community software baselines. As an alternative, the AM37x Evaluation Module (TMDSEVM3730) is directly supported by Texas Instruments.
