* Overview [#i1d6c351]
>
bc10 is an Open Source Gadget, which is equipped with Texas Instruments, Inc's OMAP 3530. As bc10 is a clone of~
BeagleBoard, it is capable of running the Android 2.2_1.1 (Froyo) and Angstrom (OpenEmbedded Linux) and other~
Linux OSes. A 6-axis motion sensor and a 20ch GPS receiver are installed on Main Board of bc10, and 5-megapixel~
camera module is a standard equipment. Moreover, at both edges of Main Board, bc10 has slots for expansion board,~
so users can design own expansion board for needs. Thus, the applications of bc10 are very wide and flexible.~

- SD card, AC adaptor, serial cable, JTAG cable are not included. Please use or modify available commercial products.~
Users may make these cables.~
- bc10 can be currently booted form SD card. The microSD card drive is not used for booting by design. The information~
of booting from NAND Flash will be published new future.~

Since all questions about bc10 are handled at its mailing list, “[[bc9-dev:http://groups.google.com/group/bc9-dev?hl=ja&pli=1]],” users are highly recommended to register to the mailing list.~
To share the technical information with other users, question-answer sessions are basically open to the public. As users submit questions,~
the engineers at BeatCraft respond to the questions. Since “bc9-dev” uses Google group, Google account is required. To join the mailing~
list, it requires the approval from the group owner.~

* How to Install OS [#wec79b89]
>
On bc10, OS is booted from the SD card. There are two ways to obtain a boot image of an OS. Follow the instructions described~
in BC::labs, download the source of the OS, and build it. Then place the files in SD card. The other way is to download a prebuild~
image of an OS, and place it to an SD card.~

* Matters That Require Attention [#j67899b6]
- On the included expansion board, a short cable is attached to the power supply connector. If the cable is damaged, it may cause~
some issues. Please be careful when the cable is connected to the power supply connector.~

- Power supply of Main Board is from USB mini B connector of the expansion board. bc10 requires a 1A or greater AC adaptor,~
which provides 5V, and it comes with a USB mini B plug. As applying a buttery, SANYO eneloop mobile booster (KBC-L2S)~
works fine with bc10.~

-SD card is not included, and SD cards are provided by users. To learn how to install an OS on own SD card, please read the section~
of “[[How to Install OS:http://labs.beatcraft.com/en/index.php?bc10%2Fget%20started#wec79b89]]” or refer to corresponding sections of BC::labs.~

-bc10 is generally booted from the SD card drive. The microSD card drive is not designed for booting.~

- Other frequently asked questions are listed on [[bc10/FAQ]].~
