Image of BeagleBoard PocketBeagle 2 The BeagleBoard PocketBeagle 2 is an upgraded version of the popular PocketBeagle, designed as an ultra-compact, low-cost, powerful single-board computer (SBC). Targeted at developers, students, and hobbyists, the PocketBeagle 2 retains the simplicity and flexibility of its predecessor while delivering enhanced performance and expanded features to support modern development needs. PocketBeagle 2 is ideal for creating IoT devices, robotics projects, and educational applications. Its small form factor and low power consumption make it a versatile platform for embedded development, whether prototyping or deploying at scale.

PocketBeagle 2 is based on the Texas Instruments AM6254 SoC. Its dual A53 cores can provide higher performance than the classic PocketBeagle. This updated design comes with pre-soldered headers, a three-pin JST-SH 1.00 mm UART debug port, a USB-C port, a Texas Instruments MSPM0L1105 Cortex®-M0+ MCU for ADC, 512 MB RAM, and a LiPo battery charger.
