Overview

Getting started

The starting experience for all Beagles has been made to be as consistent as is possible. For any of the Beagle Linux-based open hardware computers, visit our getting started guide.

Getting support

BeagleBoard.org products and open hardware designs are supported via the on-line community resources. We are very confident in our community’s ability to provide useful answers in a timely manner. If you don’t get a productive response within 24 hours, please escalate issues to Jason Kridner (contact info available on the About Page). In case it is needed, Jason will help escalate issues to suppliers, manufacturers or others. Be sure to provide a link to your questions on the community forums as answers will be provided there.

Diagnostic tools

Best to be prepared with good diagnostic information to aide with support.

Community resources

Please execute the board diagnostics, review the hardware documentation, and consult the mailing list and IRC channel for support. BeagleBoard.org is a “community” project with free support only given to those who are willing to discussing their issues openly for the benefit of the entire community.

Consulting and other resources

Need timely response or contract resources because you are building a product?
