We have no plans to use that part in a Beagle.

Hi all,

I see this was asked a few years ago, are there still no further plans to add a multicore board to the lineup?

I ask as its very likely the company I work for would have ordered one if there was, we use the PI 3 and its not 100% ideal, we would love an RTC, I know the BBB CPU has an internal one and that would have helped us, especially with the onboard battery charger.

I have a strong suspicion that the PI 3 etc are more in demand than boards from beagleboard.org due to multiple cores.

I know the 2 different boards (pi and BBB) are targeted to different uses, BBB is great for lots of sensors and robotics etc, but I think it comes across out dated these days in comparison to the pi especially how the pi has evolved a lot with a more powerful processor every couple of years.

The new Octavia package is a great idea, I hope it help propel custom designs.

Any more thoughts?

Fisher
