    Is this TI’s attempt into the ARM space? This is the first time I see an ARM made by TI… what’s the mainline support of those like? I like the board and specs, it’s actually interesting that even with sourcing a chip from TI you can still sell a board for 70$, makes me think of how overpriced Rockchip boards are…

      BeagleBoards have always used TI Arm chips. I’m guessing they mostly sell to OEMs so they don’t seem as common but they’ve been doing it a while.

      TI made a lot of the early arm chips up until like 10 years ago. Last I heard of a TI ARM chip was like the galaxy nexus? They’re definitely not new to this space.

        They’re new into those high performance , multi core ARM architectures.

      A decade ago pretty much everything was made by TI (including a bunch of Nokia phones, like the N900 or N9) - but they cancelled a lot of their stuff around the time the Elopocalypse hit Nokia.

      I still have a bunch of devboards from that time, as well as a TouchBook from AlwaysInnovating - had high hopes for that one, but sadly never made it, but was copied by others.

        Yes yes, but I was under the impression that didn’t care about those markets anymore.
