Robert,
The Embest board I received from Farnell last week ago has been used in
my BeBoPr++ production test system and I have not experienced any
incompatibilities.
As I posted earlier, the Angstrom software on the board was identical to
that on a original rev B BBB. The only differences discovered thus far
are mechanical and quality related. I replaced Angstrom with the Debian
trial image and have had no problems (other than those that were present
on the original BBB too).
The on-board EEPROM contents differ and can be used to identify the
boards if needed:
Embest:
0000000 aa 55 33 ee 41 33 33 35 42 4e 4c 54 30 30 41 35
0000020 33 30 30 31 42 42 42 4b 39 36 30 30 58 41 58 58
0000040 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
0000060 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 41 42 43 44 45 46
0000100 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
strings: "A335BNLT00A53001BBBK9600XAXX" "0123456789ABCDEF"
BBB:

0000020 31 30 31 34 42 42 42 4b 31 30 39 33 ff ff ff ff

0000100 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
strings: "A335BNLT000B1014BBBK1093"
Except from that, both boards seem identical from a software point of view.

Just about to post this to http://beagleboard.org/blog, but it
wouldn't hurt to get a bit of community feedback before pushing this
out there....
What I would be interested is software (binary) compatibility between
the Circuitco BBB and the Embest BB Black.
I can't find it right now, but Rob Nelson mentioned something like
"only supports the Circuitco Version".
Can you please enlighten me a bit on possible differences which
require software adjustments?
I mean can I take an SD card which runs on a Circuitco BBB and expect
this to work on an Embest BB Black?
BTW I will do a webinar "From Arduino Uno to BeagleBone Black (and
back)![1] on 17th and such a question might arise.
Regards,
Robert
