Openmoko Beagle Hybrid
This project provides a PCB extension board and software to combine a Beagle Board with a Freerunner compatible display and case.
The goal is to provide a demonstrator and experimentation platform how a future modern state-of the art Openmoko device with ARM-Cortex A8 and UMTS could be (neglecting miniaturization). This allows to develop software and new user interfaces. When packing the board into a Freerunner case, one can provide sound (microphone, earset, speaker) and vibracall.
What it is good for
- experimenting with touchscreen and new user interfaces on Beagleboard
- learn how the OMAP3530 design works
- make it a mobile application development platform by adding a battery pack and a UMTS usb stick
- investigatie how a Openmoko with UMTS and OMAP3530 feels
- porting SHR, QtMoko, Android, etc.

Features
- PCB that fits into Freerunner case (top cover and middle part after cutting a hole)
- works also outside of a case
- Toppoly LCM interface (same display as used in the Freerunner - otherwise it would not fit into the case)
- TSC2007 touch screen controller
- Microphone
- Earset connector (for Freerunner case)
- 2 buttons (AUX and Power)
- 2 dual color LEDs (in the AUX and Power buttons)
- vibracall driver
- headset jack to connect microphone, earset and speaker
