Not going to happen. A few months ago I asked Gerald to look at making a module version of BBB for a while and he is dead set against it. I always thought it would be better to have a module and a range of of base boards rather than capes. It would be quite simple to create a custom base board with all the features you need, but Gerald didn’t agree. In the end, he has been very successful at designing products that have been very successful, so I deferred to his expertise. Remember, Gerald is highly focused on the hobbyist and doesn’t want his boards to be sucked up by companies for their production.

the reality here is that it looks like by combining the RPi module format AND a carrier board RPi is FINALLY playing catchup to what beagle has had all along and even there beagle still leads in being more open with more peripherals and probably a lower price when all if totaled up. A module format for beagle… I really don’t see a need for it. Beagle bone (black) IS a module unto itself complete with a well defined expansion interface. If you want a module, pay bunches more for a much more difficult to interface gumstix module.

This is supposed to be the same price as a B model It will have many more GPIOS and 4 GB flash/ on board. Just wondered if there was something in the works for BBB.
There is a rev of the BBB with 4GB emmc coming.
I would be interested in a ‘low profile’ BBB – same board but without the headers, ethernet, jack and USB populated, as it would be easier to embed for some applications.
I have no plans to do what I did 8 years ago.

Works for me. Topic dropped.
