SBC for compact embedded systems, IoT and educational applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the PocketBeagle 2 from BeagleBoard. The next-generation PocketBeagle 2 is an ultra-compact, low-cost, powerful SBC for developers, students, and hobbyists. It offers upgraded performance and features for modern IoT devices, robotics projects, and educational applications.

The SBC is a versatile platform for embedded development, whether prototyping or deploying at scale. It is built around the AM6232 SoC from Texas Instruments, providing faster, more efficient computing. The SoC features dual 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 cores and a single-core Arm Cortex-M4F MCU running up to 400MHz with 256KB SRAM. The SBC includes a Texas Instruments MSPM0L1105 Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU with 12-bit ADC, 32KB Flash, and 4KB SRAM. The SBC is ultra-compact, measuring 55mm x 35mm and weighing 12.7g, ideal for devices such as wearables or smart sensors. The refined 3.55mm female header height provides greater stability compared to the original PocketBeagle.

The PocketBeagle 2 is powered by a USB Type-C connection or cape-header voltage input pin providing 5V at 1A. Debug support features include a 2-pin 3.3V JST-SH 1mm UART debug port and a 10-pin JTAG TAG-CONNECT footprint. The SBC has one LED indicator for power, one for battery charging, and four user-controllable LEDs. The hardware also includes a LiPo battery charging circuit.
