As posted earlier today on the BeagleBoard.org mailing list, the latest BeagleBone Debian beta images are now posted for broader testing at:http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ If you’ve upgraded the firmware on your BeagleBone or BeagleBone Black in the past, the experience will be quite similar, but you might find the eMMC flashing times a bit faster (~15 minutes […]
BeagleBoard.org has once again been selected as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code! This means it is time for students and potential mentors to check out the information on the program home page to find out about the program in general and discover the other organizations participating in mentorship this year. Once familiar […]
A quick survey of some BeagleBoard.org-based projects on Kickstarter that launched in 2013 provides some interesting lessons that are perhaps more intuitive than decisive. From 3D printers, home automation, robotic controllers, processing elements and accessories, designs using Beagle are starting to show up all over Kickstarter. Most of them are being successful, but not every […]
by Jason Kridner Here we are, 2014. Expect a big year for Beagle! Unfortunately, I have to start out with an apology. LinuxGizmos.com recently hopped on the news that over 100,000 BeagleBone Blacks have now been sold. When they contacted me to confirm, I blundered a bit by repeating and confirming what I thought was […]
Let BeagleBone Black Give Your Old Games an Extra Life!
by Jason Kridner Over on the TI Tools Insider Blog, Alejandro Erives has been talking about self-replicating machines and Stephanie Pearson day-dreamed about giving a Beagle a 3D printer and the impact on open source hardware. This prompts the question, how do you get started and where can you end up? Here’s the quick overview […]

Two open hardware pioneers have combined forces to bring the famously easy-to-use experience of Arduino to a high-performance ARM®-based Linux computer and prototyping platform derived from the open hardware designs of BeagleBoard.org and Arduino Leonardo. As an open hardware project, BeagleBoard.org’s collaboration with Arduino helps to advance accessible technology for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone […]
There wasn’t enough time to really discover all of the BeagleBone Black projects at World Maker Faire in New York. I did post some quick pictures on Google+, but I barely had time to breathe at the Faire! OpenROV – Open hardware underwater robot Hoboken MakerBar Orbital Rendersphere – Spinning persistence of vision globe GrannyCam – […]
Embedded Computing Design magazine recently announced its 2013 Top Embedded Innovator awards. BeagleBone Black was announced as a winner in the Top Products Silicon category. Hardly surprising, given the waves BeagleBoard.org has been making in the embedded industry for the last five years. The August 2013 issue, in addition to announcing the award winners, includes […]
