BeagleBone Black Industrial AM3358 ARM Cortex-A8, 512MB RAM, 4GB eMMC, USB Interface

The BeagleBone Black Industrial AM3358 ARM Cortex-A8 stands out as a cost-effective, credit-card-sized development platform well-supported by a rapidly growing community. This version elevates the BeagleBone Black’s capabilities by replacing the 10/100 Ethernet port with onboard 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth. This integration of wireless networking enhances the BeagleBone Black’s versatility, making it an easily modifiable and user-friendly IoT Linux computer in a compact form factor. Despite these advancements, it remains an excellent choice for physical computing and smaller embedded applications.

Powered by the Octavo Systems OSD3358 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the BeagleBone Black Wireless offers substantial I/O and processing power, facilitating real-time analysis. The flexibility of this platform is further expanded with cape plug-in boards, enabling users to augment the BeagleBone Black’s functionality as needed.

With a performance exceeding 3 million Dhrystone operations per second and support for vector floating point arithmetic operations, the BeagleBone Black Wireless is not only capable of interfacing with robotics motor drivers, location or pressure sensors, and 2D or 3D cameras but also running resource-intensive software like OpenCV, OpenNI, and other image collection and analysis tools. This makes it adept at recognizing objects and gestures for controlling robotic applications.

Retaining essential features from the BeagleBone Black, such as HDMI output, serial debug port, PC USB interface, USB 2.0 host, and reset and power buttons, the Industrial version adds two additional status LEDs for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It preserves the 4GB onboard eMMC memory with Debian Linux pre-installed, ensuring a rapid boot time of around 10 seconds. Developers can seamlessly start coding through their web browser in less than 5 minutes using a single USB cable. The BeagleBone Black Industrial AM3358 ARM Cortex-A8 is a powerful, adaptable solution for embedded development and IoT projects.
