Re: [beagleboard] purchasing beagleboard-xM

2014-10-17 Thread Gerald Coley
We are planning a build of 1,000 the latter part of November. PCBs are on
order. Not sure how many of those will show up for new demand or will go to
fill back orders.

Typically, if a distributor needs say 200 boards, that means they have
already sold 200 boards.

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for the reply.  To be clear, did you mean that you shipped 400 -xMs

 I know there's a few users who built their end product around the

Re: [beagleboard] purchasing beagleboard-xM

2014-10-17 Thread Gerald Coley
We have shipped 400 over th last two weeks. That is all the orders we have
open at the moment. Not sure about the mouser statement. I know Digi-key
received 175.
We are not in a position to set up a line just to run one board. so we need
more quantities.

I iwll check and see when we may have enough to setup the line for -xM.

  so one appeal is just historical precedent. as for the other, last
year, i bought a zoom dm3730 dev kit:

http://www.logicpd.com/products/system-on-modules/zoom-dm3730-torpedo/

is it safe to say that with this board, i really don't have any
pressing need to keep my xM around? strictly from a technical view, i
mean.

Well, all the data is out there to build their own. It is hard
to justify building these 10 at a time for people. Shutting down a line for
a day for setup and re-setup is expensive.If everyone gets together and can
get the quantity up to 500 and get a distributor to place an order, then we
can build,000 boards and make it possible.

I guess me saying not for use in products and the reasons why
were valid after all. Again, all the information is there for anyone to
build as many as they like. I think we have a build planned for 500 for
Digikey, but I am not sure when.

I know there's a few users who built their end product around the
xM's.. (as it's still cheaper then a few of the som's available for

  i'm curious ... given the regularity with which people ask for a BB
xM, what exactly is the appeal of that board? are there not newer
boards that bring the same features to the table?

. Unless the distributors order boards, we do not build boards. We don't
get orders but rarely every now and then. Lead time is about 12 weeks.

We cannot build one or two boards. If we did it would cost about $500
 board. We need a large order to make it worth doing.

Hi Gerald,

I've been trying to buy a couple of xMs for a while now.  The distributors 
all say they can't get a delivery date from the manufacturer.  Do you know 
what's going on?

Regards,
Ralph

We build based on orders from distributors. They place orders based on
demand. I believe a batch was built a couple of weeks. I do not where they
were shipped to.

[beagleboard] purchasing beagleboard-xM

2014-09-01 Thread webby

Hi, I'm interested in buying beagleboard-xM(BB-XM-00).
It's hard to buy this board.

Is beagleboard-xM(BB-XM-00) discontinued or planning discontinued?
Not available to purchase from the seller lists on beagleboard.org.

Please anyone tell me the place to buy beagleboard-xM(BB-XM-00).
