BeagleBone Black purchase information

I'm getting this question a lot, so I'm updating the response out to the forum.

Manufacturer name: Please see Brand Use - BeagleBoard. We have 2

uses part number BBB01-SC-505. Embest uses part number BBONE-BLACK-4G.

Lifecycle status: Active. No EoL date set. Commitment through 2023,
though some components may need to be updated. Working on SD card cage
replacement, but have an on-going continuity of supply for at least 1
year.
