BB-xM availability?

[Jacek Radzikowski]

Hello,

I noticed today that Digikey changed expected shipment date on my
preorder from Nov. 2010 to end of March 2011. Does DK try to play
extra save pushing the lead time eve n further, or should we give up
our hopes on getting the Xm this year?

thx.

[Gerald Coley]

For those that are familiar with DigiKey lead times, they are never correct because their computer systems are not really set up for interim deliveries, but when the last item has been delivered on an open order.  We plan to start shipping -xM boards the end of this month.

Gerald,

Thanks for your lightning-fast answer. I was confused by the sudden
change of the delivery date, which they already had set pretty far in
the future.
Thanks a lot for explanation.

[Gerald Coley]

You can also check with the other distributors as well to see what they are quoting. We leave it to the distributors to set their own lead-times and delivery schedules.

Gerald,

I am new to Beagleboard.

Do you mean beagleboard is making a batch of loaded XM boards or blank PCBs to sell direct or do you supply boards to places like Digikey or special computer and others etc?

Does it mean that once you ship boards at the end of the month then the other distributors will then have stock of XM boards to on-sell?

Brian

[Gerald Coley]

We manufacture complete boards, fully tested, and we sell them to the various distributors who then handle the final sell to the end purchaser. When I say we ship the boards, they are being shipped to the various distributors.

How is the "End of July" shipping deadline looking? And have the
camera
port certification issues come to anything?

Thanks! The BeagleBoard XM is just what I need; it looks like a great
project!

We just received our memory devices on Thursday. So much for being in stock! So, we will not make the end of July. We hope to ship boards next Friday. This assumes that we can get the final SW pulled together. We are still having issues getting that piece complete. Building boards by next Friday should not be an issue.

 

The camera is working fine. The VGA version has been tested and the SW for that is ready to go.

Hi Gerald!

So have you found what was the problem with memory issues on xM?

given that the same questions keep coming up, would there be any
value in getting a twitter account for the BB-xM, and have someone
with the proper authority tweet any new developments to keep everyone
up to date?

sadly, someone has already snapped up the twitter acct
"beagleboard", but "beagleboard_xm" is still available. and the
hawkboard people are using the same idea with their "hawkboard"
twitter account.

it's just a thought.

I have a hard time believing that people who don't do IRC, don't read the beagleboard website, don't check the beagleboard mailing or do a google search will read twitter. But I have been wrong before on such things.

i know, it might be futile. but i follow jason kridner (twitter
account "jadon") and it's a convenient way to keep up with breaking
news since he tweets/retweets any BB-related news bits. as i said,

[Gerald Coley]

At this point, the issue with the memory in my mind has not definitely been nailed down. The first batch of memories were samples from Micron. We sent them in for analysis and have heard nothing back. The issue definitely followed the memory device itself. We are still waiting for the Micron memories. So far, they are 8 weeks behind schedule in shipping them to us. In other words, we do not have them. We are switching to the Numonyx devices which do appear to work. But, we won't build those in large quantities until Monday. We will know by next Friday where we stand.

 

Just for the record. If you want to know the latest ask me or every once in a while read the discussion group where I answer this question many times.  Hardware exists in many places and in order to deal with it I have to be in many places. That is where I live, not chained to a little window on on my PC.

Hi
 
Is there any distributors that will stock xM (from the first batch) and can ship via USPS (express or normal)?
 
Between internal shipping time to FL (and add the Digi-Key tax), then my courier shipper time, then the time in customs, it will take close to a month and a half from the time the board is shipped (hope it is reelased somewhere next week)
 
It would be better if there is any distributor that can just ship via USPS, like sparkfun (I asked them but it seems that they will stock xM some months after released) it will take just 7 days (regular mail) or 3 days (Express)
 
Best regards,
 
Andres

[Gerald Coley]

All US based distributors can ship USPS as far as I know. You will need to get with your distributor of choice and see if they can satisfy your shipping needs based on when each of them would be receiving boards. You can also check with the other distributors outside the US to see if they can offer a better shipping experience.

Hi Gerald, nice to see we can talk to a human being, makes a change in
todays "Indian Call-centre" times :)

I've only recently been made aware of the Beagleboard(-xM), may I ask;

1. How is the schedule looking?
2. What are your plans for distributing within the Europe area? (in
particular, the UK)
3. What bulk discount schemes do you guys offer?
4. How stable will the product be?

I'm looking to start using these in automotive roles, they'll need to
be super-reliable, a crash could result in engine damage and / or an
accident.

Kind regards,
Jason

[Gerald Coley]

We hope to start shipping boards next Friday. Right now we are waiting on the SW relase for the board.

 

The -xM will be sold by all current Beagle distributors.

 

We over no bulk discount and the boards cannot be used in end products. All of the information is provided to build it yourself if you like.

We provide PDF and OrCAD source schematics, BOM files, Gerber and Allegro files jus as we have always done. You can download them from the beagleboard.org site.

 

The product will be stable. We tend not to ship crap if we can help it. As always, there are things that can show up from time to time. But this board has been around for a while.

Me too, with an estimated delivery date of 13th September 2010.

[iamiggie]

Are there temperature specs for this board?
Also, when you say "cannot be used in end products", is that by
license agreement, or is there something in the design to prevent it,
or just standard disclaimer?
Thanks for providing a very nice open-hardware platform!

[Gerald Coley]

Commercial temperature range.

 

We do not sell the BeagleBoard to be used in products. In other words, we are not here to make thousands of boards to be put into a company's product. If you want to take the open source hardware design and put it in your product, then do so without restriction. At that point, it is your design. We want to make boards for the community and want all our production to go for that purpose.

Hello, have any XM's been shipped yet? Is the SW ready?

My XM just arrived (I backordered with Digikey in July) so units are

well done... it just works.

Have you tried the full Angstrom demo image at

Assuming what ships with the board is a different image, then no not
yet. I'm new to Angstrom and am still feeling my way around making
sure I'm comfortable that I know how to get back to the baseline image
if (more likely when :-) I really screw things up.

[Jason Kridner]

Thanks for being my guinea pig as I'm trying to test my instructions
before fanning them out on the web page (and trying to understand
where people get stuck). :-)

The image the boards are shipped with is
http://beagleboard-validation.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/201008201549/sd/beagleboard-validation-201008201549.img.
You can use the Ubuntu Disk Imager
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager) to write the file to your SD
card, so you can always get the board back to the shipping state.

If you know how to use tools like 7-zip, you can download
http://beagleboard-validation.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/201008201549/sd/beagleboard-validation-201008201549.img.gz
a bit faster and uncompress it. If you know how to use bittorent, you
can download using
http://beagleboard-validation.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/201008201549/sd/beagleboard-validation-201008201549.img.gz.torrent.

For the full Angstrom demo, download
http://beagleboard-validation.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/201008201549/sd/beagleboard-demo-201008201549-configured.img.gz,
uncompress it and write it to the SD card the same way.

The full demo image has the validation image on it. To boot into the
validation ramdisk, you'd hold the USER button for 5 seconds *after*
applying power.

[Gerald Coley]

It was RAM as these devices have no NAND in them. We were seeing a 50% failure in our RAM tests in our first batch of devices. It took a long time to get the next batch of parts form Micron. We received new devices from Micron a couple of weeks ago and so far they are looking good with no failures.  We did switch to another part to get things rolling and we will be shipping that part for a couple of months. This is discussed in the System Reference Manual. The -xM has been shipping for two weeks now.

 

This issue has nothing at all to do with packaging technology.  It was not at all related to POP. POP is a very stable and old technology and we have been shipping Beagles for a long time with POP technology.

Thanks for the reply/details.

I had forgotten that you didn't have NAND.

I guess since POP packaging is new to me, I figured it was new to
everyone :)

Coincidentally: I just received my shipment notification from Digi-
Key. I can't wait!

Thanks again!

When did you order yours, if I may ask?

From what I understand, the Digikey lead times are inaccurate, and I'm
just trying to get a general idea on when I should be expecting my
board to arrive. I ordered mine on the 29/08/2010, but have yet to
receive any notifications apart from the confirmation.

It is hard to say. It all depends on how deep their backorder situation is on where are the list your order appears. Orders come in all the time, so the list is to say the least very fluid. As always, supplies are limited as we ramp our production.

Jason,

Sorry for the delay... had to wait for another micro SD card and hc
reader to arrive. They just got here and using your directions and
links, I successfully downloaded, wrote, and am now running the demo
image. I still need to tweak my display settings (connected to a 720p
tv) but other than that the demo image is looking good. So now that
I'm comfortable that I can get back to a baseline image and have a
spare micro sd card, it's time for some serious playing around!

One of the main things I'm currently stumbling on is modifying
settings (display - adjusting resolution and timings, sound -
adjusting main volume level, networking - random mac address, etc.) as
much of what I'm finding for the BeagleBoard appears to be out of date
at least for the validation image. I suspect a lot of it is related
to getting used to Angstrom which is a new distro for me as well as a
little bit getting used to what device drivers do what on the -xm.
Any recommendations on web/wiki pages that are a good jumping off
point in these regards?

Thanks,
Phil

When am trying to place Bagleboard-xM (296-25798-ND) to the add-part
list in Digi-Key it saying that "Due to U.S. export controls, we are
unable to add this item to your order." but i added this three days
before but due to some reasons not completed the order. am ordering
from India.

So what should i do to add the item.

Also i contacted to digi-key using live chat Then they told me that
"this part is pending an ECCN number."
So how much time i have to wait for experiment with my favorite
board ??

They have the ECCN number.

They have the CCAT number.

They should have no issue shipping a board to India.

 

I suggest you try www.specialcomputing.com as well.

Thanks for your quick reply. But i don't have a credit card so special
computing will not work , i was planning to make a TT wire transfer to
Digikey.

Hope that as from manufacture side you can inform this to digi-key.
Please Help

Last Day i got a reply from Digi-Key regarding the issue of 'placing
international orders for item:296-25798-ND (Beagleboard-xM')

It says

"The ECCN issue remains unresolved. Digi-Key has received conflicting
information from the manufacturer regarding this time. Until we get
this issue resolved, we will not be able to ship this part. It is
unknown how long this will take. At this time, we will not be
shipping this part internationally.



I am sorry to share this bad news with you. If you have any
questions, please feel free to ask.



Thank you and have a great week! "
