What can you do with a 1GHz Linux machine that fits in your pocket? What if this machine also includes 2 programmable real-time 32bit units (PRU) running at 200Mhz? What if we added that it is also FCC/CE certified?
The answer is EVERYTHING! Go ahead and fly your quadcopter, control your 3D printer, automate everything around you!
Did we mention that it retails for only $25.00!

Nah, you can introduce a USB hub and use a 10/100 USB to ethernet dongle. Or a WIF dongle, or use a Gigabit dongle, or bluetooth, or all of them at once! Or just for the heck of it, attach the passive and magnetics and get back the internal gigabit. Or HDMI. Or use a usb video adapter… /rant.
You know now I’m going to have to buy a few right. Sigh.
Not to be a contrarian but no Wi-Fi built in either (at least that I can find) so it would need a dongle for that too.
Not complaining i think this is a great device and has my wheels turning.
Nah, they can only ship it to me directly. I foresee a host of customs problems in doing that. Also it would be expensive. My problem with them is why would that chip be classified as export restricted in the first place.
*pokes at Gus
mouser has export restrictions on the pocket beagle.
