BeagleBone Black Rev C vs C1, C2,C3 Purchasing

[melaphant12]

Hello,

We use the BeagleBone Black Rev. C in our product.
One of our manufacturers has come across the issue of the new eMMC chip when purchasing a new batch of BeagleBones. I understand that this new batch is most likely a Rev. C3.

Without having the BeagleBone in front of me to check the Kingston part number, how can I tell if the manufacturer is sending a Rev. C or C1 vs a C2/C3?

Thanks,
M

Hello,

There was a couple people asking the same thing on this forum. First off, I can see the search tool now! This is good news. No more hidden search tool.

P.S. If you look up in the search bar for your query, I am sure that link will pop up. I think someone in the forums just updated the info. for the C3 lookup dialog.

Recognizing a BeagleBone Black rev C3 board

The first part of the serial number should be a date code. Anything newer than a specific date should be rev C3, but I need to research the exact date codes. The easy way to recognize them is by looking at the microSD card cage that went end-of-life requiring us to update the design: Rev C3: [image] Older revisions: [image] Note how the newer one’s microSD card cage has gold legs sticking outside the package, whereas they are inside the outline of the package on the older versions.
