Summary of BEAGLEBONE GREEN GATEWAY SBC FEATURES SITARA AM3358, ETHERNET, AND A DC JACK
SeeedStudio released the BeagleBone Green Gateway, a BeagleBone Green Wireless update using the Octavo Systems OSD3358 SiP (AM3358 1GHz Cortex-A8, 512MB DDR3, integrated PMIC). Designed as a gateway, it adds Ethernet, WiFi, BLE, a DC power jack, and an onboard I2C RTC for better industrial/time-sensitive use; it remains BeagleBone Black compatible, supports capes, PRUs, and open-source community support. Pre-orders at $59.90.
Parts used in the BeagleBone Green Gateway:
- Octavo Systems OSD3358 SiP (includes AM3358 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8)
- 512MB DDR3 SDRAM (integrated in OSD3358)
- 4KB EEPROM
- Integrated power management (part of OSD3358)
- Ethernet connector
- WiFi module
- BLE wireless module
- Micro USB connector (for power/data)
- Extra DC power jack
- Onboard I2C RTC
- GPIO and cape headers (BeagleBone-compatible)
SeeedStudio has been working on an addition to their BeagleBone Green Development Board family with an update to the BeagleBone Green Wireless board named BeagleBone Green Gateway. The board features the new Octavo Systems OSD3358, which is a SiP (System in Package) that integrates the AM3358 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 Processor, 512MB DDR3 SRAM, and other wonderful features into one package.
The new board is being designed to suit applications where the board is being used as a gateway, as such, it comes with both Ethernet Connectivity, WiFi and BLE Wireless connectivity options. The board also comes with an extra DC connector for power (overcoming the Micro USB only for power limitation), and an onboard I2C RTC, so that it is more suitable for industrial application or applications where time accuracy is required.
The board is available for pre-order for 59.90 USD
