Resource Links for the BeagleBoard
Hardware Overview and Resources
CircuitCo, the contract manufacturer for the BeagleBoard, has a support wiki page for the BeagleBoard that includes System Technical Reference Manuals, Schematics and more.
System Technical Reference Manuals
- Current BeagleBoard-xM System Technical Reference Manual
- Current pre-xM System Technical Reference Manual
Device-level documentation
- For pre-xM BeagleBoard: OMAP35x Processor Family Information (search for "Technical Reference Manual" because I cannot get a stable link to document ID "spruf98")
- For BealgleBoard-xM: AM/DM37x Processor Family Information (search for "Technical Reference Manual" because I cannot get a stable link to document ID "sprugn4")
- Power Management and Analog Companion Devices (search for "TRM" because I cannot get a stable link to document ID "swcu050" and the terminology on each web page isn't consistent so you might not know to look for those magical 3 letters of TI-speak)
- Power Management for OMAP discussion forum
- TFP410 DVI-D Transmitter
- Products on www.ti.com tagged with "beagleboard"
- Micron memories
