Hello everyone. For a while now, my kernel development loop for BeagleBoard.org boards has lookedlike this: For changes that only touched a driver, I could just scp the new module over and do the usualrmmod/insmod. This works, but it gets tiring quickly. I did try copying everything over the network instead, butcopying the modules with […]
If you’ve ever been curious about how to get started with programming some of the extra cores on devices such as BeaglePlay – in this case the M4F MCU – while also being curious about learning Rust, there is no better place to start than the work that Nishanth Menon has done in the Gist […]
Hi all, the team at TI is excited to announce that the AM62x and AM26x PRU Academy is Now Live! Check it out here! That means a lot more learning material for getting started with the PRU on PocketBeagle 2 and BeaglePlay! This release accompanies v2026.01.00 of the Open-PRU GitHub Repo — a software development […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hello everyone. I ended up skipping some weekly updates since there was not much to talk about. Maybe I should make this series a bi-weekly thing instead of weekly updates. Anyway, I will be going over things from all the missed weeks as well. Let’s get started. Zephyr Add MAIN domain USARTs for PocketBeagle 2 […]
Several BeagleBoards are now supported under the Armbian build system and community! Armbian is a lightweight Linux distribution and build system optimized for ARM-based single-board computers (SBCs). Adopting Armbian will help standardize the user experience and software release schedule for all boards while simultaneously being able to provide options for different distros (various Debian and […]

Hello everyone. Another light week here. Let’s go over everything. BeaglePlay PWM Patch A while ago, I discovered that the MikroBUS PWM pin was not enabled in the upstream devicetree for BeaglePlay. So I created a patch to enable PWM and it was finally merged last week. BeagleConnect Freedom Debugging Continuing the work from last […]
