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 […]
Hello everyone. Today I will be going over getting Fedora Minimal Rawhide running on BeagleY-AI. I will also talk about the motivation behind this little adventure and the future plans for this little side project. Motivation Since starting work at BeagleBoard.org, I’ve tried to follow an upstream-first approach for both Linux and Zephyr RTOS. This […]
The BeagleV-Fire just got faster. The BeagleV-Fire gateware repo now fully supports Microchip’s SmartHLS compiler, opening the door for developers to create custom FPGA accelerators directly from C/C++ code — no HDL expertise required. SmartHLS (High-Level Synthesis) revolutionizes FPGA development by allowing software engineers to describe hardware behavior in familiar languages like C and C++, […]
Our friends at Microchip have been hard at work, and we’re now ready to present early preview images for all of you, living on the bleeding edge. Taken from 27d2ab0 we’re building an RC1 kernel, so all the normal disclaimers and waivers apply! As these are EA images, you won’t find them in the BeagleBoard Imaging […]
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 […]
Hello everyone. It has been a while since my last post. Today, I will go over using MCUboot based serial OTA on BeagleConnect Freedom. Everything required has already been merged to upstream Zephyr now, so no special considerations should be required. Introduction BeagleConnect Freedom contains a simple bootloader in ROM, which boots the Zephyr application […]
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 […]
Stereo and multichannel audio boards for embedded DSP Bela has just launched Bela Gem – a new open-source audio platform for the PocketBeagle® 2 — on Crowd Supply. These two new boards, Bela Gem Stereo and Bela Gem Multi, bring real-time, high-resolution audio I/O to the Beagle ecosystem with sub-millisecond latency and a growing ecosystem […]
