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 […]
As mentioned in my New Year’s resolution, I’m going to launch some online training for embedded Linux development. Yes, this training will happen. Interest continues to build. At this point, I’m delaying until the first of our triannual image releases comes out next month to align with the latest software release. I’m also fixing an […]

We couldn’t be more proud to be back for our 9th year as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code. This is an amazing program offering amazing opportunities for both mentors and students. Now’s the time to get involved. Looking to see some specific improvements to open source for embedded computing, robotics, machine learning […]
As you might know, the BeagleBoard.org Foundation is dedicated to education in and collaboration around the design and use of open-source software and hardware in embedded computing. For me, this mission really is world changing important. Every aspect of our lives is impacted by embedded computing technology constantly, yet most people are barely literate in […]
