Change History#
This section describes the change history of this document and board. Document changes are not always a result of a board change. A board change will always result in a document change.

Board Changes#
| Rev | Changes | Date | By | 
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Preliminary | February 14, 2017 | JK | 
| A2 | Production. Fixed mikroBUS Click reset pins (made GPIO). | September 22, 2017 | JK | 
| A2a | Fixed label on P2_24. Was labeled GPIO48, should be GPIO44. | November 7, 2017 | JK | 
| A2b | Because there are 2 TI parts which have long lead-time, we made the following changes:

PocketBone#
Upon the creation of the first, 27mm-by-27mm, Octavo Systems OSD3358 SIP, Jason did a hack two-layer board in EAGLE called “PocketBone” to drop the Beagle name as this was a totally unofficial effort not geared at being a BeagleBoard.org Foundation project. The board never worked because the 32kHz and 24MHz crystals were backwards and Michael Welling decided to pick it up and redo the design in KiCad as a four-layer board. Jason paid for some prototypes and this resulted in the first successful “PocketBone”, a fully-open-source 1-GHz Linux computer in a fitting into a mini-mint tin.
Rev A1#
The Rev A1 of PocketBeagle was a prototype not released to production. A few lines were wrong to be able to control mikroBUS Click add-on board reset lines and they were adjusted.
Rev A2#
The Rev A2 of PocketBeagle was released to production and launched at World MakerFaire 2017.
Known issues in rev A2:
| Issue | Link | 
|---|---|
| GPIO44 is incorrectly labelled as GPIO48 | 
Rev A2B#
Because 2 TI parts had a long lead time, we made the following changes:
| Change # | Modification | Reference Designators | Part Type | Before(value ) | After(value) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Changed C2,C3 from 18pF to 22pF. | C2,C3 | Cap Ceramic | 18pF | 22pF | |
| 2 | Changed Y1 from 24MHz_18pF to 24MHz_22pF. | Y1 | Crystal | 24MHz_18pF | 24MHz_22pF | |
| 3 | Use ESD discrete devices(D1-D4) to replace U3. | U3 | ESD Solution | integrated | ESD discrete devices(D1-D4) | |
| 4 | Changed U2 from SN74LVC1G07DCKR to 74LVC1G07GV,125. | U2 | Logic | SN74LVC1G07DCKR | 74LVC1G07GV,125 | |
