So at first sight, the Embest board seems an exact and good
replacement for the current rev B BeagleBone Black and it's available
for immediate shipment. How much the TH connector solder quality will
affect board failure rate remains to be seen though.
Thanks for the info. Sounds like lower quality for more money.
Not completely true:
The price is exactly the same as what they sold the original BeagleBone
for (at least in the Netherlands). Farnell has always been a bit more
expensive than the other popular distributors, but it's compensated by
the free shipping.
Regarding the connector solder quality: Hopefully they are still tuning
their production process, circuitco obviously has had more time (and >
100k boards) to do that!
And did I mention the box the board is packed in? It's almost twice as
large and more sturdy than the original. So there you get more value for
your money ;-)
