BeagleBone Green development board, a Linux-based low-power computer, begins sales

Mouser Electronics has begun sales of BeagleBoard.org, a Linux-based low-power computer, and BeagleBone Green, a development board from Seeed Studio.
BeagleBone Green is an update to the renowned BeagleBone Black based on AM335x 1GHz ARM^® Cortex^®-A8 processor from Texas Instruments.

BeagleBone Green retains the HDMI connector and chip of BeagleBone Black, but includes Seeed Studio's plug-and-play Grove connectors. Developers and designers using this new board can now expand Seeed Studio's modular Grove system and the board's general-purpose I/O (GPIO).

Seeed Studio's BeagleBone Green, available for purchase at Mouser.com, provides the same excellent performance as BeagleBone Black. This board offers 512Mbytes DDR4 RAM, 4GBytes eMMC flash storage, microSD slot, two PRU 32-bit microcontrollers, and 3D graphics accelerator and NEON floating-point for enhanced multimedia and user experience. The development board also includes 65 digital I/O from dual 46-pin headers, 10/100 Ethernet, USB client for power and communication, and USB host.

The Grove Starter Kit for BeagleBone Green, which complements BeagleBone Green, includes 10 Grove modules with three step-by-step guides for developers seeking rapid project development using BeagleBone Green. BeagleBone Green also supports expansion boards (called capes) like BeagleBone Black.

BeagleBone Green ships with Linux and BeagleBoard's eMMC Cloud9 integrated development environment (IDE), and supports distribution of Linux including Debian, Ubuntu, Android, and other open-source operating systems.
