I am confused by this article. I had always been under the impression that Beaglebones were not approved for use in commercial products. I'm almost positive that I've read that in their documentation. But here is the creator of the project happily pointing to companies using what I assume are off the shelf boards in their products.
What sort of approval would you need to use COTS in a commercial product?
Do you mean this:
We do not encourage the use of the board that we manufacture under the BeagleBoard.org logo in commercial products. We are not able to schedule parts and arrange for production for orders that we cannot see. Meeting demand is difficult as a result.
What gives?
