Adafruit PocketBeagle - Pocket Size BeagleBone Linux Computer

Want a powerful 1GHz AM3358 powered Linux single board that's ultra-tiny and open-source? PocketBeagle offers a wealth of computer power in a small footprint, perfect for fitting in your wallet. This compact board features a fully-integrated chip that combines the processor and RAM, enhancing its tiny design.

Despite its size, the PocketBeagle includes 72 breakout pads, a microSD card slot for your filesystem and OS, and a native USB connection. Unique among single board Linux computers, it has multiple I2C, SPI, and UART peripherals, along with built-in hardware PWMs and analog inputs. Additionally, it comes equipped with a 200MHz dual-core microcontroller system for handling real-time tasks.

Expanding on its capabilities, the PocketBeagle offers 8 analog pins, 44 digital I/Os, and high-speed USB, all while being scarcely larger than some feathers. You can accommodate any USB Ethernet, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi device by adding a USB host connection to the available USB host connections. Note that an SD card of at least 4GB is required to install the Debian operating system, as there is no internal storage.
