[19:57] <kjsa> what is the cheapest TI omap processor that can run ubuntu-server?
[20:23] <suihkulokki> kjsa, probably the one in beaglebone black
[20:25] <kjsa> thank you
[20:30] <kjsa> suihkulokki, I read that it uses AM3358 and I search its price on mouser and the cheapest one is this one http://se.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/AM3358ZCZD72/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtMbLhITnKwtwIIYllslySK which is 31.6 euro and begleboard black is almost about that price :) of course beagleboard is produced in a large volume
[20:30] <kjsa> above 500 unit is 25.55 euro, it is still expensive
[20:31] <kjsa> am I checking the wrong processor or how it is possible to produce beagleboard black that cheap
[20:31] <kjsa> and the producer also adds profit margin
[20:35] <suihkulokki> kjsa, you will have to ask someone else, i'm not privy to exect pricing details
[20:35] <suihkulokki> you can try asking on #beagle , i think the bom is available
[20:36] <kjsa> I will do that, thank you. I have one more question that I am curious about. I would be glad if you can reply that one as well
[20:36] <kjsa> I see some open source hardwares that uses arm processors and run linux
[20:37] <kjsa> if I produce such board by myself, do I need to program the CPU
[20:37] <kjsa> to run linux?
[20:40] <suihkulokki> these cpus are already supported by linux, so you would only need to programm support for your own hardware on the board
[20:40] <kjsa> thank you
