Summary of BeagleCore Releases Schematics And Gerbers
The BeagleCore project has released two versions of its miniature single-board computer, the BCM1 module and the BCS1 starter kit, following an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign. Both products offer functionality equivalent to the BeagleBone Black but in a smaller form factor. The project is open-source under CC-BY-SA, with gerbers, schematics, footprints, and BOMs available for download.
Parts used in the BeagleCore:
- Beagle Core BCM1 module
- Specially adapted base board
- Gerber files
- Schematics
- Footprint data
- BOM (Bill of Materials)
In July of last year, we talked about the BeagleCore which is a miniature version of the BeagleBone Black. BeagleCore had a Kickstarter in the coming months, but were unable to reach their goal. But it looks like they kept on and have now released the two versions of the BeagleCore, including the gerbers(not the board files).

We have therefore published a ZIP-file containing all relevant information on footprint, schematics, BOM and many more for BEAGLECORE™ BCM1 & BCS1.
