Development board in USB key fob format

18 April 2018 Computer/Embedded Technology

PocketBeagle is an ultra-tiny yet complete open-source USB key fob computer belonging to the Beagle Board family. Suitable for beginners and professionals alike, the development board is Linux-based and features 72 expansion pin headers with power and battery I/Os, high-speed USB, 8 analog inputs, 44 digital I/Os and numerous digital interface peripherals, as well as microUSB host/client and microSD connectors.

The 35 x 56 x 5 mm board is based on the Octavo Systems OSD3358-SM system-in-package that includes 512 MB DDR3 RAM, 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 2x 200 MHz PRUs, ARM Cortex-M3, 3D accelerator, power/battery management and EEPROM.

PocketBeagle is flexible enough to fit in gaming, 3D printing, robotics or other electronics projects; and affordable enough to dedicate one to live permanently in each of those different projects. Users can develop directly in their web browser, and the board can easily be reset to factory conditions, leaving them free to experiment.
