Welcome the BeagleY-AI !

Nice.  While I am not an expert in this area, the 50 GFLOP figure for its GPU seems impressive to me considering its form factor.

I am on the path of Beaglebone Black platform starting from last month. Hopefully, I can start doing AI projects on BBB in 2024.

Great feature set. I hope it catches on and builds an eco system.

looks like a Pi   :-)

Another month, another Beagleboard! I'm torn as to whether it's a good thing. The hardware they're producing it nice, but documentation seems to lag behind and get forgotten when the next new shiny thing appears. I can seem a bit like "I'm bored of that, what shall we make next?"

Good board.

I have not tried more sbcs than a raspberry pi. I have beaglebone black without wireless. That is kind of useless.

I don't get why these boards provide 4 USB ports and only one ethernet port. I am looking for boards that have two ethernet ports. That way I could try some networking stuffs and also would make sense if I use poe hat. 

On the other hand 4 USB ports if all of them are used at once the sbc gets less power and warns about having less power than required.thats why it does not make sense to me having 4 of them.

They seem to have been reasonably careful to not mention the Pi, but it seems extremely compatible with Pi5 accessories. I've seen mention of the Pi5 heatsink/fan, the NVMe base, and Waveshare PoE over on discord.

You can add a USB ethernet adapter if you want a second ethernet port. We needed a Pi to span both an internal and external network and did this. Probably not the highest speed, but worked for our use case.

Everyone has different requirements, so it's pretty much impossible for an SBC manufacturer to cover everyone's use cases. A need for dual ethernet is unusual and can be covered via USB.

If you want to do some network stuff, perhaps a hackable router/switch might suit you better. I'm not too familiar with these, but I'd start looking at devices that are used with OpenWrt.

This happens on the Pi only if you're not using a power adapter that provides sufficient power. The focus of the Pi generally is to expect you to plug in a keyboard and mouse, to the USB 2 ports, and then have demanding items in the USB3 ports, at least on the latest model.

In my experience, power delivery has not been an issue with Beagleboard's products.

USB WiFi adapters work well with the beaglebone black.

I have done this too, gigabit ethernet USB adapters work well on the USB3 ports and have an adequate throughput.
