The next-generation PocketBeagle 2 is an ultra-compact, powerful single-board computer (SBC) intended for developers, students, and hobbyists. It 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 and 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.

The platform 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 PocketBeagle 2 is ultra-compact, measuring 55 mm x 35 mm and weighing 12.7 grams, and is intended 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.
