The latest Revision D update. Features 1GHz AM3358 processor, 512MB DDR3 RAM, and 4GB eMMC. Updated with ITE IT66122 HDMI Framer.
The BeagleBone Black Rev D AM3358 ARM Cortex-A8 is a low-cost, credit-card-sized development platform with good support from a fast-growing community. BeagleBone Black is the easiest to use and modify IoT Linux computer of its size. Ultimately, the BeagleBone Black is still perfect for physical computing and smaller embedded applications.
This BeagleBone Black Rev D can boot Linux in under 10 seconds and get started on development in less than 5 minutes with just a single USB cable. Like its predecessors, the BeagleBone Black is designed to address the Open Source Community, early adopters, and anyone interested in a low-cost ARM Cortex-A8-based processor. It has been equipped with a minimum set of peripherals to allow the user to experience the power of the processor and also offers access to many of the interfaces and allows for the use of add-on boards called capes, to add many different combinations of features. A user may also develop their own board or add their own circuitry.

What is the difference between Revision C and Revision D?
The primary difference is the HDMI framer chip. Rev D uses the ITE IT66122 because the older NXP chip was discontinued. You must use newer OS images for HDMI to work.
Will my old SD card image work on Rev D?
It will likely boot the system (LEDs will flash), but the HDMI video output will likely fail until you update the kernel/drivers.
Does this board come with an Operating System pre-installed?
Yes, the 4GB eMMC comes pre-loaded with a Debian Linux distribution.
Can I power the BeagleBone Black using a standard phone charger?
Yes, if you use a USB cable, but for stability, we recommend a dedicated 5V 2A Barrel Jack adapter.
What is the difference between this and the Raspberry Pi?
The BeagleBone Black has more I/O pins (65 vs 26/40) and features 2 PRUs (Programmable Real-Time Units) for ultra-low latency hardware control.
Do I need a monitor and keyboard to use this?
No, you can connect it to your PC via USB and access it virtually (Headless mode) using SSH.
Is the GPIO logic level 3.3V or 5V?
The GPIO logic is strictly 3.3V. Connecting 5V sources will damage the board.
Does it have built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
No, the standard Rev D does not have built-in wireless. You will need a USB Wi-Fi dongle.
Can I run Python scripts on this board?
Absolutely. Python is pre-installed, and libraries like Adafruit_BBIO allow you to control GPIOs easily.
What is the boot time for the default Debian OS?
Typically, it boots to a login prompt in under 10 seconds.
Can I boot from a MicroSD card instead of the eMMC?
Yes, holding the 'Boot' button (S2) while powering on forces the board to boot from the MicroSD card.
Does it support analog inputs?
Yes, it has 7 Analog Input channels (AIN0-AIN6), limited to 1.8V max.
How do I connect this to the internet?
The most reliable way is via the onboard 10/100 Ethernet port.
What are the PRU microcontrollers?
These are two 200MHz 32-bit real-time microcontrollers integrated into the main processor for precise timing tasks.
Is a cooling fan required?
For most applications, passive cooling is sufficient.
What is the maximum current output per GPIO pin?
Each GPIO pin can source/sink approximately 4-6mA.
Can I use Arduino shields with this?
Not directly. The pinout is different. You would need a specific "Cape" to adapt it.
How do I re-flash the eMMC?
You can flash a new image onto a MicroSD card, boot from it, and run a script to copy the OS to the internal eMMC.
What is the barrel jack size?
It uses a standard 5.5mm outer diameter / 2.1mm inner diameter barrel plug.
Is this board open source?
Yes, the BeagleBone Black is fully open-hardware.
