Gerald, I have looked into both producing our own boards and System on Module http://phytec.com/products/system-on-modules/phycore/am335x/type platforms with the AM3559 chipset. The system on module setups are about $125 in quantity with a 12 week leadtime. To produce our boards it

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

Thank you for confirming what I have been saying all along. We are going to raise the price so we can get more capacity. How much we are not sure as of yet, but it will be as little as possible to allow us to bring more CMs on line and to make sure we can handle future cost issues in components.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

On a side note, we've moved to the AM3354 version of the processor for our custom board. We don't use or have a need for the PRU's on the chip and the cost savings is significant. Not that this is a solution for the BBB, but for those companies which are building custom boards, it is an option

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

In my case I don't need the MMC because I need all the pin for the LCD7 UART4 UART1. About the PRU, I don't neeed either. Thx for the tips. Micka, On Mon, Mar 17, 2014 at 4:45 PM, José Luis Redrejo jredr...@gmail.comwrote: 2014-03-17 16:35 GMT+01:00 Charles Steinkuehler

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

Gerald, Have you considered offering a 'full' version (at a 'much' higher price, with double eMMC and AM3358/9) and a downgraded version with a cheaper (PRUSS-less) processor? If this assembly option can be done with the same PCB it might solve both cost and capacity problems without

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

We have talked about it but I don't think going to a AM3354 processor will save us anything at all. It would lower the quantity on the AM3358, causing the price to possibly go up on it. Not toemnetion th confusion it would undoubtedly cause among the users. We are working on a plan and hopefully

We have already tried your suggestion. http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Terms_of_Use That is why our plan is to increase capacity by being able to pay additional CMs to build the boards for us while still having the control over the whole process. The goal here is to find the
