Hello everyone. Today I will be going over getting Fedora Minimal Rawhide running on BeagleY-AI. I will also talk about the motivation behind this little adventure and the future plans for this little side project. Motivation Since starting work at BeagleBoard.org, I’ve tried to follow an upstream-first approach for both Linux and Zephyr RTOS. This […]
Hello everyone. It has been a while since my last post. Today, I will go over using DFU over USB on PocketBeagle 2. I will only be loading the firmware to RAM, since that should be the normal use case when doing Zephyr development. It is possible to do DFU to MMC or SD Card, […]
Five years ago, I was a student burning midnight oil on a BeagleBone cape, guided by mentors Jason Kridner, Drew Fustini, Robert Nelson, and many others from the incredible BeagleBoard.org community. One of them patiently reviewed my first (terrible) pull request. Fast-forward to October 23–25, 2025: I’m holding the mic at the Google Summer of […]
The BeagleV-Fire just got faster. The BeagleV-Fire gateware repo now fully supports Microchip’s SmartHLS compiler, opening the door for developers to create custom FPGA accelerators directly from C/C++ code — no HDL expertise required. SmartHLS (High-Level Synthesis) revolutionizes FPGA development by allowing software engineers to describe hardware behavior in familiar languages like C and C++, […]
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. In this post, I will go over the setup I use when doing Linux Kernel development. I will be using PocketBeagle 2 in this post, but the same instructions should work with most other BeagleBoard.org Boards. Setup The first step is to fetch the kernel repo. I am going to use linux-next in […]
Hello everyone. A typical work week. Let’s go over everything. BeagleBoard Rust Imager I have been planning to make BeagleBoard Rust Imager more modular, and extract some of its functionality to other crates. This was to clean up bb-imager (library that powers the GUI and CLI), which now had a lot of platform specific functionality. […]
Hello everyone. A typical week for development. Let’s go over everything. BeagleBoard Rust Imager Pocketbeagle2 MSPM0 support Pocketbeagle2 uses MSPM0 as both EEPROM and ADC. The EEPROM is used to store board-specific information in all BeagleBoard boards for easier debugging and differentiation of different revisions. While the pb2_mspm0 driver supports updating firmware, it isn’t suitable […]
Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 2024 was a fantastic year for my coding journey, and I’m thrilled to carry that energy into 2025. Let’s jump into the weekly updates and kick off another exciting year of coding adventures. 🚀 BeagleBoard Rust Imager A lot of work went into the BeagleBoard Rust Imager this week. I […]
Giving Thanks for Open Source, Partnerships & Community in 2024 It’s hard to believe 2024 is nearly over. But what a year it has been here at BeagleBoard.org Foundation. We saw the release of BeagleY-AI — our low-cost, open-source, and community-supported development platform designed for developers, hobbyists, and anyone looking for a reliable single-board computer […]
