There is a lot of excitement about TI's Next-Gen BeagleBone. If you have a specific question about its performance characteristics, tech specs, or anything else, post it as a reply to this thread. We are working closely with TI and will make sure to respond to your questions.  Thanks everyone!  Sagar

    Until we have some space to work in, I might as well add to this thread: I've not had much time to experiment with the board recently, but I had an hour today, and I tried powering the board from a battery…

    Hi,

     

    How does the XAM3359AZCZ on the initial run of beaglebone compare to AM3358BZCZ100 which would feature on the final runs ?

    What are the feature differences ? and why is this processor switch being done ?

    I'm not a TI employee or representative, but I believe the A->B means that the silicon revision has gone from 2.0 to 2.1.  According to TI's Silicon Errata document, the only behavioral change is improved latch-up.  The "100" is the important part -- it's now a 1 GHz part.  The initial "X" means it's an "experimental" part rather than a fully-qualified device, i.e., you get to be a pioneer image

    what about the 9->8 in 3359A -> 3358B? 

     

    and what is the DDR3 clock speed?

    I've seen 300MHz, 400MHz, 600MHz, and 800MHz.

    The PRUSS can't do EtherCAT, which is a form of pass-through switching between Ethernet ports so you don't have to store and forward complete frames.  Since there's only one Ethernet port on BeagleBone, it's not worth paying extra for EtherCAT.  I don't know any details -- I just looked up EtherCAT myself.

    Yes.  PRUSS is one of those nice acronyms that doesn't have many meanings like IP or PCI.
