Fresh off his PhD dissertation, Andrew Henderson decided turn his Beagle Entertainment System (BES) into a tiny SNES cartridge console! Beagle Entertainment System Cartridge Console The Beagle Entertainment System (BES) is a suite of emulators with a GUI front-end that makes retrogaming on the BeagleBone Black simple and straightforward. It provides two SNES controller ports that use a […]
Greg Raven created this motor speed controller based on a Texas Instruments demonstration project. His implementation uses RemoteProc and RPMsg framework to connect the PRUs (Programmable Real-time Units) to Linux userspace. The PRUs are 32-bit RISC processors which offload real-time tasks from Linux running on the ARM processor. The system implements a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. The controlled […]
Rust is a systems programming language that is quickly growing in popularity. Christopher Woodall chose Rust to develop a drink making robot powered by BeagleBone Green Wireless: Rusty Nail Christopher has written development notes about using Rust on BeagleBone: Setting up a BeagleBone with Rust We will use rustup which is a rust toolchain installer similar to rvm or […]
Greg R recently posted on the BeagleBoard.org mailing list about a BeagleBone Green project that he’s been working on: PRU Interface to ADC using RemoteProc and RPMsg The project is hosted on GitHub: Greg-R/pruadc1 The goal of this project is to perform real-time digitization of an analog audio waveform, and then to make the digital data-stream […]
