Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

It includes a USB cable (mini to standard-A). With the cable you can power it from any USB source such as a PC/laptop or an A/C adapter used by for cell phones. Beware it's a mini-USB connector on the BBB and most android phones are micro-USB, so pull the cable out of the phone A/C adapter if you can, and use the BBB cable. The other option is a dedicated A/C to 5VDC adapter with a barrel plug (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FA7DLE0). Also pick up a micro-hdmi cable to connect to a monitor.
There are lots of warnings to power it off carefully. For example from the window manager, or "shutdown -h now" from a terminal window, or press the power button once and let it power off.
It's a 1GHz processor and has a few power modes, normally running as low as 300MHz so it's quite cool to the touch. If you're a power user you can force it to 1GHz but maybe want to add active cooling. If it's in a case or restricted air flow that might be a problem. At the default setting it seems very fast.
It should come up on Ethernet using DHCP, when you get to that point it's easy to upgrade to the latest Debian software:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
On the Element14 board, first fix a whacky OS issue before trying to upgrade. Look in /etc/init.d. If you see a file called "led_aging.sh" then you almost surely have the Element14 board as the Circuitco ones don't have this. Edit that file (/etc/init.d/led_aging.sh) and make sure it looks like this:
#!/bin/sh -e
### BEGIN INIT INFO

first, i highly recommend getting Prof. Molloy's Beaglebone book
next, your first accessory, even before a case or microsdhc card, should be an Adafruit FTDI UART USB serial cable to plug into the serial debug header pins on the BBB's topside... run your favorite terminal app (i use Zterm on the mac: 1152008N1; if you use minicom under Linux - HINT: turn off hardware handshaking!)
i plugged Adafruit cable into my BBB, fired up Zterm on my Mac, then applied power via the mini-USB port... you can then watch the boot process... login as 'root' and press Enter - no password required..
the Debian distro installed on the eMMC is from Oct. 2015 - obviously needs upgrading, but good enough for my initial purposes...
i also have a Beaglebone Green Wireless (BBGW)... have been very pleased with that SBC as well... wifi and Bluetooth onboard with four USB 2.0 ports makes life easier
however, i like the BBB due to its companion book by Molloy (who has also just released a similar book for the Raspberry Pi 3)...
will the BBB last in the marketplace? who knows? at this point, credit must be given to a singularly talented individual who has contributed untold hours and effort to the Beaglebone family: Mr. Robert Nelson of DigiKey - you'll find weekly new releases you can flash onto the eMMC or boot via the miniSD card port (my BBGW is dual-boot)
btw, it was very easy to port support for SSD1306 128x64 OLEDs to the BBGW, and i'm sure the BBB would be the same... my Beaglebone provides a readout of:
- date, time of day
- IP address
- free memory
- free SD card storage
- uptime
- wifi signal strength
- local weather conditions
TIP: download the file 'BeagleBonePinGuide.pdf' then print it out, cut the images, then cover both sides with tape, and then tape or glue onto the side of P8 and P9 - you'll have a handy guide to the pins - for the life of me, i don't know why the Beaglebone folks didn't pick up a clue from the Arduino folks, who screen print the numbers on the PCBs (take a look at an Uno R3) - seriously simple and stupid, eh?
anyhow, you'll like this little computer - it comes with a USB cable but you'll want to find a barrel-connector power supply...
what can you do with this computer? well, you're limited only by your imagination... i have my BBGW already working as a printer server, a media server, etc.. you may want to craft a home-security system or home environmental alarm...

The USB Ethernet interface decided to take the IP address already used by my Linux PC instead of the one in the documentation.
There is a gaping security hole by default, people can ssh as root to the beaglebone without entering a password. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the online documentation, just the account for user 'debian'.
The desktop feels really underpowered. I started a vnc server on the BBB and connected to it from my PC (using the same network switch). The desktop menu really struggled to keep up although it's supposed to be lightweight.
The javascript programming facility on the board's web server didn't seem to work either. The system logs showed a lot of errors while trying to access I/O pins.
Trying to update the software using apt returns an error because there are broken package dependencies.
And updating the software by downloading an image requires a memory card which is not included.
Having said that, the board supports mDNS out of the box, which makes it easy to find it by pinging "beaglebone.local".
The hardware seems quite impressive. CAN, SPI, I2C, GPIO, Ethernet, USB (host+client), PWM, HDMI, JTAG... lots of stuff.
In short, this board seems to have been designed with hardware in mind. If you want to use it for embedded projects it seems to be a very good choice (I haven't started using mine yet though, so I cannot tell from personal experience). If you want something to replace your generic Raspberry Pi you might be disappointed.
