Passionate open source developers and hobbyists in India can now realise their creative design ideas without being restricted by expensive hardware development tools, lackluster performance capabilities, high power consumption or stifled design environments. Cranes Software has volunteered to distribute Beagle Board, a low-cost and fan-less embedded system development board smaller than the size of an index card, for the Indian open community enthusiasts for Rs 9,999.

Inspired to create a small, open source development board, a small group of enthusiastic engineers worked together on the concept and realisation of the Beagle Board. The resulting three inch by three inch board bridges desktop and embedded development by allowing developers to use the same peripherals and usage mode for almost limitless expansion. Developers are able to design exactly to their specification and collaborate with the community on creative new applications.
The USB-powered Beagle Board is based on TI's OMAP3530 applications processor, which features an ARM Cortex-A8 core, 2D/3D graphics engine and high-performance TMS320C64x digital signal processor (DSP) core.
Now equipped with the technology, the company says, designers are challenged to use their imagination on how best to experiment with the size and performance of the Beagle Board by only using standard PC peripherals. Developers can utilise the standard expansion buses to add their own peripherals they already own via standard expansion buses, such as a high-speed USB 2.0, MMC/SD/SDIO and DVI-D. In addition to utilising the DVI-D port to add a digital monitor, an S-Video port can be used to add a TV or the USB miniAB connector can be used to add a high-speed hub for a keyboard, mouse, WiFi or Ethernet connection and web camera. The MMC/SD connector can be used to add multiple gigabytes of storage or SDIO-based WiFi and Bluetooth functionalities.
