Hi Beagle users, A little about me before I explain my question. I'm an experienced electrical engineer with a heavy background in micro processor implementation and programming as well as PCB layout for high speed digital design. I'm fluent in C and C# and open to learning other languages. I am, however, totally new to SoC (and embedded Linux OS) concepts outside a basic knowledge of computer system architecture. I am currently at the stage of working out if the Beagle bone black is the correct starting point for me.
My interest in the Beagle Bone is for product development with a view to commercialization. This will require a re-design of the board architecture into my own PCB design and I am attracted to the BBB as it is fully open source and the processors are available commercially (unlike the RPI). So, my question is. If I simply cloned and populated a PCB, matching the circuit diagram of the BBB and plugged an SD card in (with OS flashed on), would it work. Or is additional software required to be loaded onto the SoC device? If so, is this bios / boot loader available? Additionally, if I develop a program to run on Rasbian. How easy would it be to port it onto a BBB OS (such as Debian)? Tanks for any assistance you can offer.
