BeagleServer expansion board is an Open Hardware project. Currently a high level design note is available, which describes the components to be used. It aims at the following specifications :

  • Aims at transforming a Beagleboard or IGEPv2 into a full-blown home server that could cater to home automation needs
  • Compatible with both the Beagleboard and the IGEPv2
  • 12V battery powered, or mains-powered (accepts 9 ~ 18V)
  • Enough power for an internal 2.5" or 3.5" hard-disk, USB-attached
  • +3.3V and +5V I2C; +5V I2C is buffered with a line buffer accepting a larger capacitance which allows I2C devices at distances up to 50m
  • I2C to 1-wire hub (using DS2482-800 which is supported by OWFS); plugging in 1-wire devices lights a LED which makes it easy to confirm if a 1-wire device is detected.
  • Real time clock with super-capacitor backup
  • Internal monitoring of the HW health (power supplies + temperature)
  • Some relays
  • Ethernet-based console port
  • a few other options (RS232 interface with CTS and RTS, SPI port, S-video, additional SD-card)
