BeagleBoard-xM

The BeagleBoard-xM delivers extra ARM® Cortex™-A8 MHz and extra memory with 512MB of low-power DDR RAM, enabling engineers, innovators, and hobbyists to take their imagination to another level. The BeagleBoard-xM features an open hardware design that improves upon the laptop-like performance and expandability of the original BeagleBoard while keeping at hand-held power levels. Direct connectivity is supported by the on-board four-port hub with 10/100 Ethernet while maintaining a tiny 3.25" x 3.25" footprint. The BeagleBoard-xM is intended as a community-supported platform that can be used as the basis for building more complete development systems and as a target for community software baselines.
