BeagleBoard-xM breaks 1-GHz performance barrier for
embedded design innovators and hobbyists
BeagleBoard-xM delivers extra MIPS with 1-GHz ARM
®
Cortex™-A8 performance and extra
memory with 512MB of low-power DDR RAM, enabling hobbyists, innovators and engineers
to go beyond their current imagination and be inspired by the
BeagleBoard.org
community.
Designed with the community inputs in mind, this open hardware design improves upon the
laptop-like performance and expandability, while keeping at hand-held power levels. Direct
connectivity is supported by the on-board four-port hub with 10/100 Ethernet, while
maintaining a tiny 3.25” × 3.25” footprint.
As with previous
BeagleBoard.org
offerings, the BeagleBoard-xM is not intended to be a complete
development environment, but rather a community-supported platform that can be used as the basis for
building more complete development systems and as a target for community software baselines. For a
complete development system, please consider the Sitara™ AM37x Evaluation Module from Texas
Instruments (www.ti.com/am37x).

BeagleBoard.org
promotes and motivates open source development on OMAP™-, DaVinci- and
Sitara-based systems. The key objectives of the organizations are to:
• Enable hobbyists and innovators to explore new domains and experiment with their ideas on an
open platform
• Enable such experiments to be conducted cost effectively – to nurture innovation – by enabling
supply of ultra-low-cost OMAP, DaVinci and Sitara hardware platforms
• Bring together the OMAP, DaVinci and Sitara communities by providing the basic infrastructure to
exchange ideas and thoughts on OMAP, DaVinci and Sitara technologies
• Enhance the visibility and facilitate widespread adoption of the technology developed by the
community by providing a source-controlled and consolidated project hosting service
