Hello everyone. Another light week here. Let’s go over everything. BeagleY-AI SD Card support While hacking on my BeagleY-AI, I found that my HP SD card did not work with BeagleY-AI for some reason. On digging a bit further, some SD cards were not working on BeagleY-AI due to some issues with signal voltage switching […]
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 […]
Hello everyone. This week mostly involved a lot of chasing stuff around (sometimes in vain), so while there was not much headline work, this post might end up a bit longer than usual. 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
For decades, direct digital controllers – edge processors running on low-bandwidth serial networks – have been the standard for managing commercial building systems. In recent years, however, these devices have started showing their age. There is now mounting pressure for building owners and managers to embrace technologies such as the Internet of Things. This new […]
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 […]
