Arm Cortex M3?  Just curious - is this a cut & paste error from somewhere?  From the "Summary of Key Features" on all the PocketBeagle descriptions I see:
  • Based on new Octavo Systems OSD3358-SM 21mm x 21mm system-in-package that includes 512MB DDR3 RAM, 1-GHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 2x 200-MHz PRUs, ARM Cortex-M3, 3D accelerator, power/battery management and EEPROM
 Don't see anything like that on the OSD335x-SM data sheet.  Am I missing something?

Just ignore the M3, it's been in the am335x since day 1, it's running
TI's Power Management Firmware..

Which the source is available on git.ti.com

You can ignore it, but you can also alter the firmware on it. I'd like to see what folks can do with it.
