That is the chip used on rev C Beagle boards. 2G bits == 256M bytes.

It is impossible to add more memory to the board.

For all practical purposes it IS impossible to upgrade the memory on the
Beagle, unless you are assembling the board yourself and substitute a
different OMAP/POP combination. Replacing OMAP or POP BGAs in the field
just ain't gonna happen (the exception being those with the rework stations,
who don’t have to ask the question in the first place).

Sorry, my bad. The Beagle has the 2G/2G chip. Should read the entire
part number next time...
