Hi guys,

I want to buy a BeagleBoard,

I have to develop applications using it. I need a Board which has all
the support necessary to start writing applications directly ..

I actually had some other Board with omap3530 inside it. It suxx to
the coreth.
But, i am actually planning to purchase a BeagleBoard.

I want to know if it is better to buy beagleboard with omap3530 ? or
beagleboard XM ?

please suggest me which board is more stable and has more support..

Thank You.

I would buy the -xM.

Faster. More memory. Etherenet. Four USB ports. Camera interface.

May i know, if the GPIO are exposed out on the BB-XM …
I have a real need of GPIO.
If not directly, i want to know if there is any expansion header available.

Thanks.

Yes, three is GPIO on the board and it is exposed. Yes it has expansion headers on it. You can find a lot of information on the board here.

I still don’t know, if the Touch screen is compatible with BB … :frowning:
there is no DVI-D, do we have to connect it on our own?

What about LCD display??

There is nothing that tells about it in the website www.beagleboard.org

Thanks.
