  • has 3 configuration signals required by some LVDS LCD panels
  • provides up to 1.2A of 3.3V to directly power LCD panel
  • open-source project (schematic and Gerbers are available for free download)
• Trainer Boards are now available from TinCanTools for $59.00
  • I2C interface(+3.3v or +5v selectable)
    • Can be used with the Nintendo Wii NunChuk interface
    • Pin compatible with WiiChuk Adapter
    • WiiChuk Adapter is available from SparkFun
  • SPI inteface (+3.3v)
  • GPIO's(+3.3v)
  • Large prototyping area (0.1" x 0.1" matrix with access to power bus)
  • Atmega328 processor (user programmable)
    • Arduino compatible
    • ATmega328 power is +3.3v or +5v selectable
    • Communicate to the ATmega328 via the BeagleBoard's second RS-232 uart
• BeagleBoard Zippy expansion board is now available from TinCanTools for $79.00. basic specs are:
  • Battery Backed RTC
  • Second MMC slot
  • 10BaseT Ethernet
  • Second RS-232
  • +5V level I2C
  • AT24 EEPROM
• 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.
