Trying to get a few things documented at https://github.com/beagleboard/pocketbeagle/wiki/FAQ, so feel free to start throwing out questions here, on IRC or on the github site.
The board is bootble / usable right now ? The FAQ could be taken both ways. e.g. because of the board overlay file.
Jason,
Is that a beaglebone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
I’ll be ordering one shortly!

Regards,
Thanks Robert. So pretty much still a work in progress I take it ?
Works out of the box.. With any "2017-09-19" or later images...
Regards,
Ok, cool, thanks Robert.
Looks great! Any recommendations for TCP/IP connectivity, wired or wireless?
Will these Mikroe Click Ethernet or WiFi boards plug in to the PocketBeagle directly?
(Assuming that you installed the female headers on the PocketBeagle.)
Or, do you need to jumper wire between the boards, or create an adaptor board to make the right connections?
— Graham
Yes, "assuming" you've also told u-boot to load the overlay, (which i
still need to write and push out to bb.org-overlays)...
Regards,
Awesome looking device, just placed my order at Arrow.
Initial images are now up:
https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-09-21/
(anything labeled "bone" after 2017-09-21)
For Ubuntu:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#All_BeagleBone_Varients_and_PocketBeagle
Console is on T0 Rx/Tx by default
On powerup (remember to hit the pwr button), you can ssh/serial in
over the usb port.
Some spare 8 pin arduino headers and this usb-uart adapter work great:

Missing from the FAQ: What are the minimum power supply requirements?
Looking at the board, there’s no external power plug so I’m assuming everything comes via USB.
USB supplies have limits, so before I go making additions that draw 2.5A it would help to know if my 2.6A supply is good enough.
[If the the PocketBeagle needs more than 0.1A, the answer would be “no”]
Who’s idea was it to describe it as ECCN 5A002.a.1, so that it is export controlled?
And I have to fill out an end use declaration before Mouser will sell it to me?
So much for a quick impulse buy from Mouser.
This does not sound like a good idea for something that is supposed to compete with the Raspberry Pi Zero.

And this is just to get it shipped from Ft. Worth, Texas, to a US Citizen in Austin, Texas.
Just think what it will be like to get one outside of the U.S.
— Graham
By from digikey.
This happens at Mouser every time there is a new 'bone. It gets sorted eventually.
I had no issue ordering from Digikey as Robert suggested. USPS says it will be here Mon.
