Looks awesome!
Ethernet through SPI with ENC chip?

WHAT!!! Nah…

Cheaper than PI!? CHEAPER THAN PI!? How you all pull that off? The chip costs more than the board!

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.

Don’t even compare. You get 2 real time units. I hope you realize how much you can do with that.

The PI is a fine board but it is a complete different use.

We could do more if IT ever released the specs and api for the GPU.

TinyCLR OS and WIndows 10 IOT Core both run on it, right? (Concurrently, so I can switch back and forth in the fly)

I’m thinking for more embedded applications without dongles etc. It does not appear the Ethernet lines are brought out the headers.

Aw, no Ethernet headers then. no biggy. WiFI FTW.

Also this device does not run Windows IoT.

This device should however run TinyClr OS :slight_smile: *pokes at Gus

Gus you look like you’re getting old. Time to take a vacation.

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.

Will there be any carrier boards available?

working on it

@Gus_Issa Come on…I’m still sitting in the office.

I saw a video of a guy who has a green pocket beagle. Looks like there were people who had it before it was announced.

Give Gus a beer…

:sob: mouser has export restrictions on the pocket beagle. :cry:

How do I get my hands on it now?

Why do they have export restrictions? Cryptographic module too strong?

Unless you are in a country like N. Korea or Iran, shouldn’t be an issue.

I’ll reship one to you if you want.

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.
