– Low cost development platform targeted for systems that specifically focus on the industrial communications capabilities of the Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 Processors. Beaglebone – Low-cost, community-supported development board driven by TI’s Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor. Regular price: $89 .

– Low-cost, community-supported development board driven by TI’s Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor. . AM335x Evaluation Module– Development board based on AM3358 ARM microprocessor with 512MB DDR2, a 7” touch screen LCD and Wireless (WiFi/BT) connectivity. Regular price: $995

That means the Beaglebone is available for $66.75, and all orders on TI e-Store appear to include free international shipping. All you need to do is apply “121212STO” promotional code before your pay. The offer is valid until the 31st of December 2012.

Emcraft Systems is discounting 2 uCLinux Cortex-M3 development boards for Xmas:

Linux SmartFusion Evaluation Kit (A2F-LNX-EVB) – Platform for evaluation and development of Linux on the Microsemi SmartFusion Cortex-M3 cSOC comprised of Emcraft Systems’ A2F-LNX-EVB board and corresponding Linux Board Support Package (BSP). Regular price: $149

(A2F-LNX-EVB) – Platform for evaluation and development of Linux on the Microsemi SmartFusion Cortex-M3 cSOC comprised of Emcraft Systems’ A2F-LNX-EVB board and corresponding Linux Board Support Package (BSP). Linux LPC1788 Evaluation Kit (LPC-LNX-EVB) – Hardware platform and Linux software development environment for the NXP LPC17XX microcontroller comprised ofLPC-LNX-EVB board, and corresponding Linux Board Support Package (BSP). Regular price: $99

Both boards are sold for $79, and the offer last until existing quantities run out. If you’re not familiar with Emcraft Systems BSP, you can read my Emcrasft Systems K70 and Smartfusion SoM Getting Started Guide. The hardware is different, but the BSP should be very similar.
