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 […]
Computers are the primary driver of technology and BeagleBoard.org Foundation is bringing back the open nature of early computers with BeagleY®-AI, a move critical to innovation, business and education. BeagleY®-AI is about the size of a business card and is compatible with popular accessories, add-on hardware and enclosures available for similar sized computers, but it […]
Meet DRINKBOT 2.0 — the perfect blend of fashion, technology, and mixology. Created through a collaboration with BeagleBoard and renowned designer Anouk Wipprecht, the stylish outfit made its debut at Embedded World 2024. Available as either a dress or a suit, DRINKBOT 2.0 uses voice commands, the BeagleY-AI, and a built-in 3D-printed cocktail system to […]
What do microchips, stone-washed jeans, 3D printing, paint removal, and meat products have in common? All rely on laser marking, which uses a focused beam of light to ‘mark’ a surface with symbols or patterns. It’s an intricate process controlled by a system of highly specialized software and hardware components. Building such a system demands […]
Updated: BeagleBone® AI-64 represents a major milestone for BeagleBoard.org, satisfying some of the most requested features from our developer community.

Most of the BeagleBone boards from BeagleBoard.org share the same form factor, have the same headers and therefore can accept the same extension boards, also known as capes in the BeagleBoard world. Of course, a careful PCB design was necessary to make this possible. This must have been relatively easy with the early models (BeagleBone […]
The concept of Device Tree overlays The Device Tree language is a way to describe hardware that is present in a system and cannot be automatically detected. That’s the case of devices directly implemented on a System on a Chip, such as serial ports, Ethernet or Nand flash controllers. That’s also the case of devices […]
Using device trees is one of the most complicated and important, and sometimes risky, elements of using a Beagle to make use of add-on hardware. With the addition of the AM5729-based BeagleBone AI to the family of boards sporting BeagleBone headers, the complications have increased, requiring additional considerations with dependencies on different processor pins connected […]
It’s that time again, time to start gathering project ideas and possible mentors for Google Summer of Code. This year, you can be a student even if you aren’t enrolled in school! That’s got me thinking about the key areas we need to help advance education around open source embedded systems. One of the early […]
Simple serial-based Bluetooth client connection on #BeagleBoneBlack From: https://donfuge.wordpress.com/2014/07/30/first-steps-with-the-hc-05-on-the-beaglebone-black/ Wireless communication between an embedded device and PC or smartphone is easily accomplished using the HC-05 bluetooth module. The BeagleBone is a great tool to explore the features of it and one can even settle with bluetooth in his final application. Enabling the UART5 I decided […]
