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 […]
Hello everyone. A typical work week. Let’s go over everything. Use extlinux in Armbian images Thanks to all the amazing work by Andrei Aldea, PocketBeagle 2 and other BeagleBoard.org boards support Armbian. By default, it seems Armbian uses the old uEnv.txt file to specify the boot entry. This is fine, but the newer extlinux.conf is […]
Hello everyone. I have been traveling for the last few weeks due to some family functions. Additionally, I was primarily working on Pocketbeagle2 stuff, which wasn’t public yet, so I also lacked content. Now that Pocketbeagle2 has been announced, I can start talking about it. So, let’s get to it. Pocketbeagle2 MSPM0 Driver In Pocketbeagle2, […]
Hello everyone. Another light week here. Let’s go over everything. BeagleBoard Rust Imager Continuing the trend from previous weeks, many developments took place in BeagleBoard Rust Imager. MacOS Thanks to help from Zain, BeagleBoard Rust Imager SD card flashing finally works on MacOS. With this, it is now possible to flash Linux images to an […]
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 […]

Let’s get started without delay. BeagleConnect Freedom Adventures I started the week by trying to add IEEE802154 subg socket support in MicroPython […]
Hello everyone. This is the start of a new blog series to keep the community in the loop regarding the work done by BeagleBoard.org members and the community. Hopefully, I can stick to the schedule. MicroPython Initial BeagleConnect Freedom Support While we have had MicroPython firmware for BeagleConnect Freedom in the past, the work was out […]
Hello everyone. I have been recently working on porting MicroBlocks to BeagleConnect Freedom. This also involved work improving Arduino module for Zephyr since MicroBlocks uses Arduino APIs. I will now go over using MicroBlocks on Beagleconnect Freedom. What is MicroBlocks? MicroBlocks is a free, Scratch-like blocks programming language for learning physical computing with educational microcontroller […]
