"BB-Black Return of the King
BeagleBoard, as the world's first open-source ARM development board, let Beagleboard.org community into the spotlight. From BeagleBoard to BeagleBoard-xM, BeagleBone and then to come out, Beagleboard.org community from obscurity to the altar. 2013, already well-known open source community Beagleboard.org highest point standing invitation letter --BeagleBone-Black Return of the King to the world. All the advantages of called works of art like the perfect calm BBBlack have your favorite original Beaglebone ... and not only that, BBBlack have a stronger performance, more features, lower price.
The development kit based on scenarios Ti industrial AM3359 processor is very extensive, including to meet gaming peripherals, home and industrial automation, consumer medical devices, printers, intelligent charging system, intelligent vending machine weighing systems, education and terminals the different needs in various fields, including toys and other senior.
Here is a demo Ti engineers to maintain a constant temperature system by BB-Black video

BB-Black easily manage
1. Quick Start System
Preparation: (comes with the purchase of) a BBBlack as well as a mini USB cable.
Additional things need to be prepared: one monitor (DVI, VGA or HDMI interfaces can), an HDMI cable (one must be a microHDMI port, so long as one can match the interface on the display can be)
First, connect the HDMI cable
Followed powered by USB cable
The system automatically starts, LED will light up sequentially in the order of D1 -> D2 -> D3 -> D4 -> D5
Wait a moment, then successfully entered the system
Note: The first plugged HDMI following by the power line, do not plug the HDMI cable charged
2. In the absence of an external monitor, the system can start to see through a serial line
Preparation: (comes with the purchase of) a BBBlack as well as a mini USB cable. Additional things need to be prepared: a computer, a USB to serial cable (preferably with a DuPont line connector for easy DIY)
Software tools: Super terminal or putty.
Then press TX RX, RX TX connection, GND connected to GND way serial line
Plug the PC USB port, open the super terminal or putty software, connect the USB power cable
Super Terminal or putty will print out information start to the Super Terminal, for example, appear below the login prompt, enter root access to the system successfully
3. How to view information Getting Start
In the windows system, plug in the USB cable, the computer will display a letter with a 69.4MB Beaglebone of iconic LOG
Opening break point, which contains a number of documents, including teach you how to do start.htm
If you plug in the USB cable show no letter, what is the solution?
The second step is returned via the serial port to view the system start
Enter the root log into the linux system
Enter the command x = / usr / bin / g-ether-load.sh; sed -e 's / SERIAL_NUMBER = / x = / g' $ x> x; rm $ x; mv x $ x; chmod a + x $ x; sync;
After reboot you can drive automatically load after the completion of the letter can be displayed on a PC
BB-Black VS Beaglebone
If BeagleBone personal PC miniaturization attempt, an exploration, law-abiding, hardware configuration, open-source system, provides a relatively efficient for developers, convenient development platform. So BBBlack is to achieve a breakthrough beyond the self, not just the amount of change on the basis of BeagleBone, it is a qualitative leap.
BeagleBone hardware parameters
BBBlack hardware parameters
BeagleBone and BBBlack in appearance is different, is "Spring Snow" also or "low class, 'We do not comment, the so-called turnip greens all have love, but we can configure the hardware by comparing the above parameters can obviously draw Conclusion, BBBLack strong performance, very strong. If the computer date back to the beginning of the popularity of the stage, this configuration is simply spike all desktop computers, this is a digression, we return to the topic to talk about BBBlack enhance what in the end there.
Faster
CPU, everyone is familiar with this, upgrade all electronic products are around it, "regime change", from the engineers, for example, down to the students to buy mobile phones, computers and other electronic products, primary concern is basically a CPU, a few core, clocked at how much , businesses of new electronic products have also around the CPU campaign trail, we have to accept this reality, depicting the CPU concept has gained.
BB-Black are using the main push of a Ti industrial grade MPU-A3359, integrates a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 core, has been enhanced in the image and graphics processing, and peripherals such as industrial and PROFIBUS interface options etherCAT aspects, and support Linux, WinCE and Android and other high-level operating system.
The CPU performance Beaglebone use is relatively weak, in the case of USB-powered only support speeds of 500MHz. The support has a DC power source, it can only go to the frequency of 720MHz, the performance difference of about 40%.
Greater capacity
If BeagleBone memory entry-level, that BBBlack of 512M DDR3L MT41K256M16HA-125: E belongs to the experience level of memory, along with greater capacity and faster speeds, just so you think it?
DDR3L memory is a leader in the field of low power consumption, operating voltage as low as 1.35V, reduce power consumption while increasing performance, and this is a breakthrough, is the power of science and technology forward.
More features
Compared with the BeagleBone, more than two particularly useful functions, eMMC and HDMI.
eMMC is MTFC2GMVEA-0M WT Micron, it's there you do not have an SD card eliminates the system can not start trouble, increasing the diversity of system selection.
HDMI Needless to say, this is the most obvious sign of the times, the degree of popularity of "red purple", now usually with TV HDMI interface, people can often contacts, even familiar, not to mention our generation, If you do not know what is HDMI, I can only say, "you are from Mars, right?" :) BBBlack use HDMI chip NXP TDA19988BHN, has low power consumption, very suitable for mobile electronics .
In World War II BB-Black VS Beaglebone in, who wins? How many wins? I believe at this time our hearts have the answer.
BB-Black Advanced articles
For the open-source systems, frequent software updates are sparse usual thing is everyone is loved. In a sense, a software product update frequency, the faster, the description for this product more popular, the more given due attention. In the open source community not to spread such a sentence: "You are not afraid of going fast update thief, afraid you do not update the life and death"
BBBlack currently supported version of the system has Angstrom Linux, Ubuntu, Android, believe that follow-up will add more compatible systems.
Angstrom Linux is the official was the default system version, and update the current official version is based Angstrom, an updated version you can go to the website or BeagleBoard.org wiki download the latest version of Angstrom Linux.
Android system update, Ubuntu system updates.
Software Updates
How to successfully update the system?
Preparation:
Hardware resources: a larger than 4G microSD card, and a USB card reader, a computer, a BBBlack (BBBlack board + data line)
Software Resources: Download System Version 1; 2 download and install compression tool; 3 download and install the programming tool win32 Disk Image...
Update steps:
Unzip the download is complete package of image file compression
The microSD card reader with USB connection to PC
With win32 Disk Image will be written to the SD card image file
BBBlack microSD card into the slot, uBoot hold the key, USB cable and power
Ranking a user LED lights up (this time point a little better later extended) release button uBoot
When other four other user LED continuously lit, indicating completion of the update system (takes about 45 minutes)
Disconnecting the power cable out of the SD card, can be used to re-power
