It's basically perfect for building anything in the drone or industrial control space because you can use the same monolithic IC that's on there, on low-quality boards that don't need expensive impedance control or 8 layers.
It's actually a pretty huge development as far as electronics go.
- thom_nic 9y agoThose benefits are mostly a feature of the Octavo SIP (I think!) Unfortunately in my case, I want to use it in a product with wired ethernet, so a PocketBeagle limited to a USB or SPI ethernet device because the it doesn't expose the pins for the AM335x's integrated MAC. Also, buying the Octavo chip alone in small quantities is much more expensive than the whole PocketBeagle :( I wish they made a PocketBeagle-Pro with all signals routed out through high-pitch headers, comparable to Olimex's AM3352-SOM.
