Re: Why so little info on the Pocket Beagle?
By the Mouser page at
http://www.mouser.com/new/beagleboardorg/pocketbeagle/ it has a
"SGX530 graphics accelerator" so it seems like it must have video. In
my earlier looking around it seems like I ran across the fact that it
has a micro (not mini) HDMI, so I wanted to double check that because
I only have mini, but couldn't find it again. It does have several
serial ports or at least uarts. Their graphics are so big they
basically didn't work until I made them 1/4 size in Gimp. It has 2
SPI ports by the pinouts. Yes, I have 3 Raspberry Pi 3Bs and a couple
Zeros, I wanted to diversify a little. Or I just wonder why nobody
else bothers to include A/D ports.
Why is the only documentation on Github? Strange marketing ploy.

No, I won't call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
