I ordered a few boards a month or so ago and the only shipping options were DHL and I forget what other service but it was even more expensive. Might I suggest a budget shipping option for those customers who are less concerned with longer lead times such as say post. The two board orders I placed cost $13.50 CAD and shipping was $35. Then on top of that the boarder stung me with $26 in tax a duty which I do not understand how they can charge more than the product is worth, a problem I have only ever had in the past WITH DHL. Please provide a post option

The Beagle Bone Green Wireless is a great idea for several reasons. One thing I was looking for was to get ride of the bulky Ethernet connector. This is an embedded board that is already big, because of the .1" headers, it is humongous in height because of the Ethernet connector.
And so when the wireless version came out I was ex-tactic for a second until I realised you added 2 dual stacked USB connectors?!?!
Please leave the choice to the user to decide whether or not they need that much real estate wasted.

People who have enough space for these dual stacked USB connectors will have the space to use a USB hub.
Meanwhile, trying to fit this board in a tight application remains an issue and is now very difficult because of those connectors.

The Beagle Black wireless version on the other side does not include these big USB connectors. Regrettably I will have to use the Beagle Black version rather than yours. A shame because your version has been less expensive and I had been happy with the Beagle Bone Green(s) I got from you.

Hope you redesign the wireless version keeping in mind this is a great opportunity for people to reduce and embedded a BBG into a small product they can sell.

If I can sell my product because your board allows me to package a neat device, think of the board volume I will be buying from you.

Each I2C device address that a manufacturer uses has to be purchased and registered. In order to have multiples of a certain device (like a motor controller) each one currently has to have its own address.

I suggest that you put an address register as the first piece of data sent to a device and the device looks at that one word sub address before responding. If the board has a dip switch that can set 8 bits of sub address, then you can have 256 devices that use the same I2C address, but they share it in the same way that the I2C devices share the I2C bus using their addresses. Add the function that the communication from the host sends the address followed by sub address, then waits for the response. The slave device sees its I2c address, then waits for the sub-address to match before responding. In this way, the manufacturer only needs to register one I2C address for all their products. The user then assigns unique sub addresses to each unit that will be used together.
