The next-generation PocketBeagle 2 is an ultra-compact, low-cost, powerful single-board computer (SBC) for developers, students, and hobbyists. PocketBeagle 2 offers upgraded performance and features for modern IoT devices, robotics projects, and educational applications. 

The BeagleBoard PocketBeagle 2 is a versatile platform for embedded development, whether prototyping or deploying at scale.

It is built around the AM6232 system-on-chip (SoC) from Texas Instruments, providing faster, more efficient computing.

The SoC features dual 64-bit Arm Cortex- A53 cores and a single-core Arm Cortex-M4F Microcontroller Unit (MCU) running at up to 400 MHz with 256 KB SRAM.

PocketBeagle 2 also includes a Texas Instruments MSPM0L1105 Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller (MCU) with 12-bit analogue-to-digital conversion (ADC), 32 KB Flash, and 4 KB SRAM.

The board is ultra-compact, measuring 55 mm x 35 mm and weighing 12.7 grams, ideal for devices such as wearables or smart sensors. The refined 3.55 mm female header height ensures greater stability compared to the original PocketBeagle.

The PocketBeagle 2 is powered by a USB Type-C connection or cape-header voltage input pin providing 5V at 1A. Debug support features include a 2-pin 3.3V JST-SH 1.00 mm UART debug port and a 10-pin JTAG TAG-CONNECT footprint.

The PocketBeagle 2 SBC has one LED indicator for power, one for battery charging, and four user-controllable LEDs. The hardware also includes a LiPo battery charging circuit.
