Every day thousands of electronics designers make use of the BeagleBone platform to develop innovative solutions and products. Transforming these solutions into mass production is expensive and labour-intensive. With BeagleCore™ that is all about to change ...
Based on BeagleBone architecture, BeagleCore™ is a much smaller, simpler device - a powerful postage-stamp size building block for creating and testing new technologies for industrial and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The BeagleCore BCM1 is a miniaturised computer module for industrial or commercial applications that can be integrated into custom PCBs, introducing new opportunities for developers of professional hardware solutions. The BeagleCore™ BCM1 can be used, for example, to create controllers for water treatment plants as well as interactive touch displays for mobile measuring equipment in rugged environments.
The BeagleCore™ BCM1 module matches the core functions of the BeagleBone Black or Green, but can be embedded into your own baseboard or the BCS1 baseboard (included as part of the starter kit), making it ideal for industrial design and development.

| The BCS1 starter kit |
The BeagleCore BCS1 starter-kit serves as a quick start development platform and combines the BCM1 computer module with a standardised baseboard to provide the expansion and connection opportunities needed to develop Internet of Things (IoT) or embedded industrial projects. The BCS1 baseboard includes two USB ports, Ethernet, HDMI and SD port and 2 x 46-pin GPIO headers. The layout is compatible with BeagleBone Black capes and peripherals.
The BeagleCore runs the same operating system (OS) software as the BeagleBone boards including Debian, Android and Ubuntu. There is a comprehensive getting started guide which also includes links to the latest OS images. And because the BCS1 is 100% open source you can download the schematics, BoM and other files from the BeagleCore Github repository.
