The EVM is clearly a lot more capable in terms of extensibility and add-on hardware. Beagle is designed to be an ultra-low cost introduction to OMAP3, and to open up new developer communities (universities, even high schools) ... EVM is more in line with traditional TI handset development boards. (But if you need one of those ... get an SDP, or Zoom-II.) http://beagleboard.org/ http://www.mistralsolutions.com/products/omap_3evm.php So EVM has for example an LCD touchscreen and a keypad, plus an on-board Ethernet adapter, and Beagle doesn't. Likewise with video and camera inputs. EVM supports battery powered operation, including a charger and (I think) battery gauge. Re 720 MHz, that speed grade is kind of new ... Beagles might be upgraded to use it at some point. - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
