Hello, I’m planning to produce the BeagleBoard Black. Does anybody have experience doing it?
I need around 500 units a year (I don’t really know yet) and I will be happy if I could just imitate the one that is shipped thought the BBB distributors. I was emailing Gerald Coley and he told me that at this point they can’t fulfil bulk orders of BBB but apparently in the future they will but as I want to gain more freedom and control the supply I need to deal directly with a PCB manufacturer.
Currently my small company produces simple Arduino PCBs and the producing process is just to send the Gerber file with the BOM and we are ready to go. After I saw Gerald Coley speaking saying this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ0OPT5s9aQ I’m wondering what else I need to know in order to have a 500 units order working. Is the trick in the evaluation quality test? or is it that I have to flash some of the EEPROM, eMMC,uSD in a special way?
Anyone who already has gone through this?
Thank you!
