Ken Shirriff has written an excellent in-depth look at the PocketBeagle: Hands-on with the PocketBeagle: A $25 Linux Computer The PocketBeagle is a tiny but powerful inexpensive key-fob-sized open source Linux computer. It has 44 digital I/O pins, 8 analog inputs, and supports multiple serial I/O protocols, making it very useful as a controller. In […]
(Updated: replaced link to device tree source to point to the overlay for PocketBeagle GamePup cape) Much has been made of the complexities of the Linux device tree configuration mechanism–it is both a savior and a curse. It saves us from needing to maintain custom kernel logic for every possible board and daughterboard (Cape or […]
Software support for the BeagleWire FPGA cape was developed by Patryk Mężydło for Google Summer of Code 2017. Now the actual hardware will soon be available from Crowd Supply: BeagleWire: Fully Open ICE40 FPGA BeagleBone Cape BeagleWire is a completely open source FPGA development board. Unlike nearly all other FPGA dev boards, the BeagleWire’s hardware, software, and toolchain […]
It was announced a day or two ago, but now the PocketBone has made its first real-world appearance at the World Maker Faire in New York this weekend. This is a tiny, tiny Linux computer that’s small enough to fit on a keychain, or in an Altoids mini tin. It’s only $25 USD, and from […]
Mike Szczys writes about 2017 Open Hardware Summit last week in Denver: Hackaday’s Open Hardware Summit Experience This yearly gathering brings together the people and businesses that hold Open Hardware as an ideal to encourage, grow, and live by. There was a night-before party, the summit itself which is a day full of talks, and this […]

Patryk Mężydło has posted the final video for his Google Summer of Code 2017 project GSoC17 Project: BeagleWire software support – final presentation The task is to create software support for FPGA cape (based on iCE40 device). The completed project will provide the BeagleBoard.org community with easy to implement and powerful tools for realization of projects […]
Brian Benchoff writes on Hackaday about the latest project from Kumar Abhishek: Hackaday Prize Entry: BeagleLogic Standalone A few years ago, [Kumar] created the BeagleLogic, a 14-channel, 100 MSPS logic analyzer for the BeagleBone as an entry for the Hackaday Prize. This is a fantastic tool that takes advantage of the PRUs in the BeagleBone to give […]
Kuldeep Singh Dhaka has designed a miniature hardware terminal: diy-VT100 A small VT100 that you can carry in your hands, connect to any hardware that provide serial interface. Here’s a video of the diy-VT100 meeting the BeagleBone Black:
