Re: Why so little info on the Pocket Beagle?
You mean like https://community.imgtec.com/downloads/powervr-instruction-set-reference/
? Or in wget form
http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk-documentation/PowerVR+Instruction+Set+Reference.pdf
Maybe they didn't want to be outdone by Broadcom. I don't know, so
far I like the ZeroW better. I bought a PocketBeagle mostly because
of the A/D converter with multiplexer. But it turns out that what
they're meant for is mostly reading resistive touchpad inputs. Which
the Zero (and Pi) can also do but there's no obvious mention of an A/D
(probably no extras). It's done through stmpe, at least on the
Adafruit PiTFT touchscreen display I've got.
Anyway the PocketBeagle idles at about 0.1 amps, half a watt. With a
load it went to 0.24 amps, 1.1 watts. 995 BogoMIPS. The only physical
video output connector is SPI. Which is in the 2 GPIO headers, I
don't have a connection yet. You can connect the microusb to a
full-blown computer and get in by ssh over urndis. Plugged into a
powered hub with a working rtl8192 wifi adapter, it doesn't recognize
it (yet). So mine's had no connection to the internet to install
software. I need to get some GPIO connectors ordered.

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