BeagleBoard-X15: new OSHW from BeagleBoard.org

Official announcement today from jkridner & BeagleBoard.org:

BeagleBoard.org - 2015-10-14-beagleboard-x15

Announcing the new powerful BeagleBoard-X15 open hardware computer for electronics innovators from BeagleBoard.org

Innovate with an open community of developers on the most powerful and flexible open hardware computer development system available

Powered by a Sitara AM572x processor from Texas Instruments (TI) [...] dual ARM Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.5GHz [...] Accelerated processing of physical world data is made easier than ever with the dual C66x digital signal processors (DSPs) supported by OpenCL

There is a form to register your interest in BeagleBoard-X15 for delivery in time for Christmas:

I'll be interested to see how it performs compared to the US$74 ODROID-XU4, which has quad 2 GHz Cortex-A15 and quad 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7. For real-time applications, the PRU, DSP, and Cortex-M4 are very attractive.

Yeah, I think there are other boards that provide a better value in terms of application processor performance to run Linux. I agree the combination of all those on-die processors will make X15 appealing for real-time systems.

This discussion also came up on the beagleboard mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/_PfeLrGSEKI

I had asked if people knew of other suppliers that include a microcontroller on-die with a Cortex-A series processor. One person pointed out the Xilinix Zynq combines a "hard" Cortex-A processor with a FPGA. Someone else wrote that the Freescale i.MX6 is going to have a Cortex-M4 on-die.

The UDOO Neo uses an i.MX 6SoloX processor that has a 1 GHz Cortex A9 and a 200 MHz Cortex M4 core in it. It has dual row Arduino compatible (3.3V I/0) connectors
with software that dedicates one row of those pins to the M4 core with the other row of pins dedicated to the A9 core. It also has a Arduino compatible IDE for the M4 core
with the A9 running Linux of course.
