1.1 Introduction

This evaluation module user’s guide describes the hardware architecture of the Seeed Studio BeagleBone Green Eco, a low-cost, industrial-grade open-source hardware development platform which is based on the AM335x Arm Cortex-A8 processor.

With 16GB of onboard eMMC storage, Seeed Studio BeagleBone Green Eco provides developers with enough space for operating systems, applications, and data storage. The platform features a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet connection, delivering high bandwidth for networking applications that require substantial data throughput or responsive device communication.

The USB Type-C® port offers improved durability and simplified cable management while maintaining the ability to power and program the board through a single connection. The familiar BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone form factor is preserved, including the two Grove connectors that simplify sensor integration and make the platform immediately accessible to developers of all experience levels.

On the software side, the Seeed Studio BeagleBone Green is one of the BeagleBone compatible boards which comes pre-installed with the Debian® software designated by the BeagleBoard.org foundation. This robust software foundation provides developers with well-established tools, libraries, and resources that significantly streamline the development process across diverse applications.

Note: The remainder of this document refers to the Seeed Studio BeagleBone Green Eco board as BeagleBone Green Eco.
