Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

http://www.adafruit.com/products/1278

FYI, I have received email notification that adafruit.com has BBB in stock
as of this morning.

Newark charged my credit card yesterday. I placed the order on 7 January.

The responses are in line with my belief that you are in a long line…

As long as the line is moving I’m happy!

I saw 3 on the shelf at Microcenter in Marietta GA

The line is moving and we are looking to get more parts in house sooner to increase the output. All it takes is one single part and we can’t build a board.

Gerald

I have some in stock if anyone needs them.

Guess no one saw my comment because Microcenter in Marietta GA still had two on the shelf again today.

Maybe the world is a little bigger than Marietta :wink:

Distributors in Italy (RS components, Mouser, Farnell) are still without boards. RS says you can reserve boards for April…

Yea it is but shipping is not that bad. They will ship it or I could if the person that needed one wanted to write me. SSeeing as everyone else is out. Ya gotta stop thinking so negative there!

If you wait until you see stock, you may never get a board. Just place your order and you will have a better chance of getting it sooner. Backlog are filling up as fast as they go down.

They’re out of stock already. Expected 07/11/2014.

I’ll order from Mouser which is expected Feb 28. There is defianetly a supply problem. Mouser alone claims it has over 13,000 on order. Sounds like demand is higher than anticipated.

Yes, the demand is higher than the distributors anticipated. We are basically keeping up with the backlog. If you wait until a distributor shows stock to order, odds are you won’t get it.

Try a Wandboard as an alternative to the Beagle Bone Black until supply catches up with demand:

If you are looking to go into production there is a path forward with Wandboard (7-10 lifespan and supply guarantee)

Hello Mister COLEY,

Why don’t you think sell BeagleBone Black to profesionnal customers too? It seems there is a market.
I think there are companies with small knowledge in embedded systems, which want to add connectivity and BBB features on their systems with small development phase and cost.

Sorry for my English, I’m French :slight_smile:

Hello Mister COLEY,

Hello Mister COLEY,

We are focused on the community. Fell free to build it yourself however. All the materials to build it are provided for free and you don’t have to pay any development costs.
