(This is an AI-assisted blog post, because I don’t want to spend more than a couple minutes writing down something GitHub and even GitLab are doing stupid. I cannot say exactly why they are doing it, but I can tell you it is obviously stupid.) How GitLab broke a simple workflow (and Forgejo didn’t) I’ve […]
BeagleBadge, now on pre-order for $99, has won best-in-show at Embedded World 2026 in the Wearables category. Congratulations Team Beagle, including SeeedStudio and Texas Instruments!!
Wearable technology has traditionally been locked behind closed ecosystems, limiting how developers, students, and researchers can interact with and modify their devices. BeagleBoard.org is changing that narrative. We are thrilled to introduce BeagleBadge, a limitless innovation platform that brings a new vision to wearables and low-power computing. By combining powerful built-in sensing with unmatched expansion […]
BeagleBoard.org has joined the Zephyr Project as an Associate Member, formalizing a collaboration that has been growing for years. Zephyr is already a familiar tool across the Beagle ecosystem. Support for Beagle platforms has been developed upstream alongside the community, and many Beagle users are already using Zephyr for real-time, low-level, and microcontroller-class development (even […]
At BeagleBoard.org, our mission is to educate, empower, and unite a global community around open-source hardware and software for embedded computing. Recent upstream graphics progress on BeaglePlay exemplifies what’s possible when an open ecosystem, robust community engagement, and modern open-source software come together. Upstream PowerVR Support — What’s Happened? BeaglePlay — a powerful, open-source Linux-ready […]
Noticing What Our Language Leaves Out What Pluribus Made Me Wonder About Technology, Neutrality, and Moral Responsibility This essay was generated by ChatGPT in response to a (long) series of prompts by me. It is a bit out-of-place on this blog, but I hope you find it relevant. It is certainly inspired by many other […]
I was able to join Alex Glow on Hackster Cafe and talk about BeagleY-AI and PocketBeagle 2. Key points: Upcoming Android release on BeagleY-AI Bela GEM crowdfunding campaign uses PocketBeagle 2 TechLab workshop on PocketBeagle 2 BeagleY-AI On-The-Edge give-away from Hackster
Some of you have heard me say that when a Raspberry Pi goes into space, it’s news, but when a Beagle board goes into space, it’s Tuesday. Sure, it’s hyperbole, but it sure feels to me that I talk to a lot of people putting various boards of ours into space, especially BeagleBone Black, without […]
I spend most of my time working on BeagleBoard.org community projects, but I do a few projects of my own building IoT devices. There are a number of good software infrastructure tools out there, but I often use Balena. The problem I have faced often is not specific at all to Balena, but I’d like […]
Beagle’s choice to host its own Gitlab server at OpenBeagle.org has been a mixed bag, to say the least. We are very much entertaining the idea of utilizing a Gitlab hosting service, rather than run our own instance, but the lessons-learned from doing a bit of Internet-wide DevOps continue to sharpen our knowledge of “real-world […]
