BeagleBoard PocketBeagle open source USB-key-fob computer is minuscule and provides extensive flexibility, enabling makers and designers to add only the peripherals they need. Dev board is based on the power-packed 1GHz Octavo OSD3358-SM, the smallest system-in-package (SiP) device in the OSD335x family. The 21×21mm SiP includes 512 Mbytes of DDR3 RAM. Prioritizing ease-of-use, this affordable Linux computer features a simple, intuitive design that offers tremendous expansibility. Product is bolstered by two 32-bit programmable real-time units (PRUs) with single-cycle input/output (I/O) latency, enables rapid prototyping for 3D printing, robotics, and education. Also included in the ultra-tiny board is an SGX530 graphics accelerator.
