I was confirmed that I will get 14 boards; the other 30 will be in back order.
That means you will get 14 C3F boards and the rest will be C4. But, they are currently way out there. Maybe April or May, unless something happens to get us the parts sooner.

Can you say which part it is? I’m guessing the Micron NAND/SDRAM.
Hi Gerald,
I have 2 damaged Beagleboards killed by 12V power supply. Do you think I can send them back for repair?
Thanks,
Eric
Well, you can, but it is not guranteed that we can fix them. If the OMAP or TPS655950 are damaged, then they cannot be repaired. If it is the TPS2141 or the regulator, then we can. We won’t know untill we look at them.
Gerald
Potentially a SIX MONTH wait??? Oh, NO! I am developing a product
that
was to be built around the Beagle Board, at least initially!
This is really serious!
Jon
I agree. I was trying to push the beagleboard into a parallel
processing project at my work for the current development cycle, but
boards will only be available after the cycle is over. We're looking
at about 50-75 boards. We'll have to can it until next year...
Gerald,
Can you say what part is missing?
Steve
We are working the issue daily and I hope for a resolution soon. The TFP410 is the issue at the moment. Everything else is in.
Gerald
are all BB lookalikes having the same shortage issue?
rday
There are lookalikes?
I would expect so, but it is hard to say. We got caught on the ramp to long lead times. At the moment, and this is subject to change, we expect to resume shipments in early January. Just for the record, these will be rev C4 boards with the 720MHZ version of the OMAP3530.

Not sure if you consider Gumstix Overo a "lookalike", but all 4
versions of the processor module are in stock..

Will the Beagle run without the TFP410? The embedded projects we are
planning on using it for mostly will not need any video out. We can
do everything we want via ethernet and the expansion header.
But, maybe we should just move toward the Gumstix or other OMAP
platform.
Thanks,
Jon
The Beagle will run without the TFP410, except there will be no video output. The Gumstix is a great product. It ias you call. As I said, we plan to start shipping in early Jnauary.
Gerald
we do have significant quantity of C3 boards in stock and can ship internationally. You can contact me off-list to not clog up the mailing list

A TI part? Well, that’s embarrassing. Are there no pin-compatible parts from other companies? Are the TFP410-EP or TFP510 an option?
Hi,
I am trying to make a bootscreen or splashscreen for my new system. I used the dss_init(void) function from
http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/3ad9b803a3418624
to copy the logo from my company to framebuffer in u-boot.
Unfortunately the kernel initializes a new framebuffer and the logo gets lost.
My idea is to write some extra code into the DSS driver that copies the logo from u-boot’s framebuffer to the new initialized one.
Can anyone tell me where especially in which function the new framebuffer gets initialized?
Actually another problem arose during kernel executed. The framebuffer from u-boot got overwritten by kernel (cracy pixel on the display). The u-boot’s dss_init() allocates the framebuffer at 0x80500000, which is 5MB after memory start and about 3MB after the kernel’s area in memory.
Does someone know what memory region kernel uses when executed? Maybe it is possible to change u-boot’s framebuffer region to a memory area, which will not be overwritten by kernel.

Hi,
I am trying to make a bootscreen or splashscreen for my new system.
I’d recommend starting a new thread. You’ll get better & faster answers.
What does that have to do with the current thread ("[beagleboard] Want to buy Beagleboards")? If you want to start a new thread, press "New Mail" not "Reply". If you want your question to remain in this thread then at least change the subject to something more appropriate.
Thread hijacking is considered rude.
