BeagleBoard.org has announced the BeagleBone AI, a high-end board for developers building artificial-intelligence and computer-vision applications. It uses a new dual Cortex-A15 Sitara AM5729 SoC that includes four powerhouse embedded-vision-engine (EVE) cores with AI capabilities. You can think of the BeagleBone AI as a faster and much more feature-packed version of the BeagleBone Black (which can be…
With the XinaBox xChip hardware modules, RS Components is adding more ways to prototype and expand the functionality of popular single-board computers like Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. The xChip concept makes a wide variety of electronic functions available in a standardised modular format that can be assembled, in any order, to build electronic devices quickly…
The Pixy announced in 2013 as a Kickstarter campaign, was a computer vision package meant for makers that can learn and detect objects via the press of a button. The new Pixy2 is smaller, faster, and smarter than the original, and has the same capabilities as the original Pixy, plus a few new tricks. These latest features…
The open-spec OSD3358-SM-RED is the first Octavo Systems’ SBC based on one of its SiP modules. The SBC uses the 21 x 21mm OSD335x-SM SiP module, which packs a 1GHz Texas Instruments Sitara AM3358 SoC. The OSD3358-SM-RED, is a BeagleBone-like development platform for prototyping Octavo OSD3358 SiP based devices. Presumably, it will also work for projects based on the OSD3358-512M-ISM, a…
QWERTY Embedded Design has gone to Crowd Supply to help seek funds for its open source, Lattice iCE40HX-4k driven BeagleWire FPGA development cape for the BeagleBone Black. The cape’s relatively simple, low-end Lattice iCE40HX FPGA is a popular choice for developers who want to engage in fast logic device prototyping or learn the fundamental of…
Spain based Voladd has won Kickstarter funding for a Voladd 3D printer that runs Debian Linux on a BeagleBone Black single board computer.The Voladd connects to a cloud service, and does not require an attached computer. The printer stands out with its mobile app remote control (it provides updates on printer head type, color, connectivity,…
Remember when projectors were so big they came in suitcases? This pico-projector is so small it sits neatly on top of a pocket-sized computer: Texas Instrument’s (TI) DLP LightCrafter Display 2000 EVM slots into the tiny BeagleBone Black board, which uses its Sitara AM335x processors and provides software drivers and BeagleBone Black code-programming examples. Once attached,…
