Device Support and Testing

Device Support and Testing
Project Description
Testing and support would be taking place for beagleboard. The Beagle Board is a low-cost, fan-less single-board computer based on TI OMAP3530 processor (ARM Cortex-A8 Core ~600MHz + TMS320C64x+ DSP ~430MHz), with all of the expandability of today's desktop machines, but without the bulk, expense, or noise.
BeagleBoard-xM delivers extra ARM Cortex-A8 MHz and extra memory with 512MB of low-power DDR RAM, enabling hobbyists, innovators and engineers to go beyond their current imagination and be inspired by the BeagleBoard.org community.

Project News
The price that I have found out for Beagle Board is $150. It's definitely not too expensive for what it can actually do or act like.
