Beaglebaord and Need advise

I am new to beagleboard development systems. I am trying to build a
touch screen interface system using beagleboard. I have the following
questions:

1. What are the differences between beagleboard-XM and
beagleboard-XM REV C? Which one has high speed and better
performance?

2. Does beagleboard-XM REV C even exists?

3. Do I need to buy beagleboard-xm and the TI development kit
TMDXEVM1810 separately?

4. I have 22" Touch Screen Monitor (1920 × 1080p). Will this work
with beagleboard-XM?

Hi.

1. You should find all the info you need in the System Reference Manual.
2. According to that, yes.
3. The TMDXEVM1810 is a different board, but does seem to include a small touch screen.
4. I don’t know. If you want to try it with RISC OS (and particularly if you’re able to write a driver for it) it may be worth looking at the following:
   • 1
   • 2

For general BeagleBoard questions, it’s worth nosing around beagleboard.org and searching the archives of the mailing list for answers.

Hopefully you’ll find what you want.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for your advice. It looks like I can buy
either the TI TMDEXEVM1810 or by the
beagleboard-xm REV C and use the open resources
available to develop the driver for the touch screen
monitor. I think I will go with your advice.

I am developing touch screen applications for a 65"
touch screen monitor and I shall need a consultant
to help me develop the applicatipns.

Thanks, Asumadu.
