Mapping schematics to pins
Because the BeaglePlay’s Bill Of Materials (BOM), PCB design files, and schematics are all open source, anyone can manufacture a BeaglePlay as part of their consumer product. Since the BeaglePlay is intended for development, it contains several components that may not be needed for production, such as Ethernet ports, USB ports, and a microSD slot. As a dev board, the BeaglePlay may also be missing one or more peripherals needed for your application such as sensors, an LTE modem, or an OLED display.
The BeaglePlay is built around Texas Instruments’ AM6254, a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 SoC with Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU) and M4 microcontrollers. Like the Raspberry Pi 4, the BeaglePlay has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Unlike other SBCs, it also has a programmable radio capable of sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz low-power wireless communication. While the BeaglePlay is extremely versatile, at some point you may want to design your own custom...
