Octavo OSD335x

Anyone who has moved their design from a demo board to a PCB understands how time consuming and difficult it can be to design a layout just for the necessary microcontroller and surrounding components. It took me a good couple hours to successfully breadboard an Atmel chip from an Arduino and most of a day to sit down and design traces. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to design a circuit board for something more complex like a Beaglebone! But here to make your electronic design life easier and more convenient is the Octavo OSD3358 (1676-1000-ND). You could call it a Beaglebone in itself as it features a TI processor, power management IC, voltage regulator, memory, and more than 140 passive components within a generous-pitch BGA package. Octavo will help you go from prototype to production in no time. Check out the TechForum page for this item for helpful part numbers and links.
