Availability
PandaBoard are in production and can be ordered from Worldwide
distributors. You can also easily
identify the board you have using Board revision
id
Rev A3
Latest version of the board.
Rev A1/A2
Rev EA1/EA2
These were limited number of ‘Early Adopter’ boards that built prior to
production versions. more
details
Rev ES
There is now a
PandaBoard-ES which
includes an OMAP 4460 at up to 1.2GHz. Several important differences
make it important (at the present time) that the MLO/u-boot/kernel be
specifically crafted for the 4460. The thermal management is not in the
mainline 4430 code as yet and could cause unwanted thermal problems. So
BEWARE of running any code built for the non -ES PandaBoard on the -ES
model.
