BeagleBone Blue’s at under $64 plus tax and free shipping. Unfortunately, limited to the US. Ends at 11:59PM US Central time.
Also, I see Digi-Key has BeagleBoard-X15’s in stock.
Best news I’ve heard all week…
Just out of curiosity is the BB-X15 that we can order now from DigiKey still SR2 or was there another revision done on the board/silicon?
I have an am572xEvm which reports to be ES2.0/(?SR2.0?) when SPL/u-boot boots. Will the rev_a3 device tree for the the ti 572x still run on the latest BB-X15?
Reason I ask. A couple of weeks ago, following the instructions on retrieving and patching u-boot for the BB-X15 from eewiki, I retrieved a mysterious version of the TI patch set for u-boot which compiled, but wouldn’t boot. It had references to device trees with ‘RevC.’ I posted up here, and then re-retrieved/applied the u-boot patch set and those references to RevC went away, and u-boot ran again on my ES2.0 am572xEvm…
Thanks and regards! jeff

It's labeled as Rev C, it's essentially a Rev B with SR2.0 silicon...
(SR2.0 fixes the 1GB 2nd phy, on the Rev B (SR1.x) the 2nd phy was
limited to 100MB)

Yeah i still need to fixup our support for the rev_a3 572x evm board.

okay, hacked around the spl lookup on line 982:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/Bootloader-Builder/commit/c6e15b3c8c49edc78921a74798eeded2ee790643
it "should" have been returning 0, but for some reason it just locks
up.. might be a stack/oom/etc issue, as it's in SPL at that point...
Jeff, give this image a quick test:

Hi Robert,
So far, so good. It boots and gives the “arm” prompt. Will collect some cursory logs and post them back up here…
Thanks and regards!

Here’s the bootup log without the verbose mode flag enabled in uEnv.txt:
Attached a text file containing log of output of the dmesg command.
*** Note: The dmesg command was captured from an earlier bootup session than from the session with the abridged kernel log pasted above ***
Thanks! jeff

Last-night I received my BB-X15 at home. From the description on DigiKey’s website, I wasn’t sure what comes in the box.
As it turns out, just a populated PCBA in an electrostatic bag, no power supply headers/standoffs, FTDI, default SD Card with the BBB-X15 image.
Could the vendors please put a note on what comes in the box?
Now I’ve got to order all of the obligatory accessories just to fire it up (and maybe pay more shipping charges)… argh!
Thanks!
Jeff
It boots off the eMMC on the board. It does not require a SD card to boot.

Oops, I’m sorry.
If I only would have read this:
https://github.com/beagleboard/beagleboard-x15/blob/master/BeagleBoard-X15_Quick-Start-Guide.pdf
page 3,
I would have known to order the other accessories.
IMO, it would still be great if the distributors could specify what comes in the box.
Anyhow, it’s booting a very late image of the kernel from eMMC…
It’s v4.9.x-ti, with remotepruc_pruss, dsp support (OpenCL working out of the box).
I submitted mainline support this week, it’ll hit v4.14.0-rc0.
