Description

Official website : PocketBeagle on beagleboard.org
Official BeagleBone Black Wiki maintained and supported by BeagleBoard.org.

The PocketBeagle is a Single Board Computer (SBC) which uses the Texas instrument AM3358 processor and has 512MB of RAM, one USB otg (micro USB), one µSD card slot, and two 2x18 pins (72 pins total) expansion ports which allows for a great variety of "Capes", like this PocketBeagle GamePup Cape.

The PocketBeagle is the little sister of the BeagleBone Black board.

in order to achieve the very small footprint, it uses a "SiP" (System in Package) from Octavo Systems : OSD335x

Base system

• TODO !
• Note that the steps found on the BeagleBone Black "from scratch" pages should be a very good starting point, as the processor is the same.
• Rootfs guide to create either a minimal system using Busybox or a full Devuan GNU/Linux system.
• The "SD card creation" section from the "from scratch" page also provides information to use the u-boot, kernel image, and Devuan root filesystem I built for the BeagleBone Black.
