why is this 4 times the price of the other black and green boards?
That board is made by Octavo Systems themselves, and is used for development / evaluation with their SiP.
It’s not an official BeagleBoard.org board that may be sponsored.
Does TI support Camera Interface? Is there any way to use these boards with opencv?
