No, but it is possible to attach WiFi and Bluetooth modules through the available GPIO pins. Here is a tutorial: community.element14.com/products/devtools/single-board-computers/next-genbeaglebone/b/blog/posts/pocketbeagle-quick-start-guide-and-connecting-to-wifi-and-ethernet
Checkout my other video about BeagleBone AI-64. I published it a few days ago. It includes a chapter for price with list of popular distributors. I personally bought BeagleBone AI-64 from Farnell.
Yes, absolutely, this is exactly how the Debian image for PocketBeagle works. If connected to a PC via USB cable, a network adapter should show up on the computer. PocketBeagle with the Debian image runs DHCP server that will provide the computer with an IP address of either 192.168.7.1 or 192.168.6.1. It is a pretty cool feature.
You could use your PC to share it's Internet connection with the BeagleBone Pocket. There will be instructions "out there" for your PC and for the BeagleBone (Linux).
Yes, PocketBeagle is a very convenient way to learn embedded Linux development. I have seen it as a hardware platform used in various classes and workshops during conferences. Compared to other BeagleBoard models, PocketBeagle is significantly smaller and it is also available at a lower price. It is with 32-bit ARM SoC while the latest and greatest BeagleBone AI--64 is with 64-bit ARM SoC (btw I have another video for it).
Good question. In my opinion it is a good option for robotics, embedded Linux industrial applications (for example for control and/or I/O operations in special machines) and with appropriate peripherals the PocketBeagle can be useful as a headless device for home automation tasks (audio, controlling LED strips, gardening, infrared communication with old/retro devices, etc.)
@@mrafayshams3089 btw considering the current global chip shortage on the market that has affected severely Raspberry Pi, the PocketBeagle can be considered as a replacement for some tasks performed by Raspberry Pi Zero.
yes, according to the datasheet of OSD335x System-in-Package commercial version used in PocketBeagle, the operating temperature range is from 0C to 85C. Octavo also offer industrial version of the OSD335x which is with temperature range from -40C to 85C. PocketBeagle is an open source hardware product so eventually you can even manufacture a version using components for industrial temperature ranges.
Does pocket beaglebone have wifi and Bluetooth

I really want beaglebone ai64 but no one sell it here in Indonesia. Also haven't opportunity to buy it.

I see it has USB on it. Does that mean we can connect a USB device to it like a flash drive or a Ethernet adapter?

@@undercrackers56 yes, this is pretty cool and it is shown in the chapter about Debian in the video.
Can one use this board to learn Embedded Linux...Any drawbacks? Also how does this board compare to other Beagle board offerings?
Yes, PocketBeagle is a very convenient way to learn embedded Linux development. I have seen it as a hardware platform used in various classes and workshops during conferences.

What kind of practical embedded applications do you think the Pocketbeagle will be best for?

@@LeonAnavi Great! Thank you!

Does anyone know the operating temperature range? Does anyone make an industrial rated version of this device (-40 degC to +85 degC)?
yes, according to the datasheet of OSD335x System-in-Package commercial version used in PocketBeagle, the operating temperature range is from 0C to 85C.
