BeagleBoard.org announced its BeagleBadge, a limitless innovation platform that brings a new vision to wearables and low-power computing. BeagleBadge follows the company’s central values of access, literacy, ownership, and longevity, ensuring users the tools needed to create. It delivers rapid prototyping, research, and real-world solutions in health, environmental monitoring, and human-machine interfaces.

Embedded Computing Design is excited to reintroduce the Dev Kit Zone at embedded world 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, March 10 – 12.

Product Description: 

BeagleY®-AI is a low-cost, open-source, community-supported development platform for professionals and hobbyists. 

BeagleY-AI has a Raspberry Pi compatible form factor, enabling a shared accessory ecosystem.

BeagleBoard.org provides Debian Linux, Zephyr and Micropython software images and the ability to run artificial intelligence applications.

Open-source AI hardware solutions are often designed to be an easy and accessible way for students, hobbyists, and even professional developers, to get started with their AI application development projects. These computing platforms typically utilize an industry form factor that can further support robotics, facial recognition, touchless HMIs, and real-time automation projects.

With a new offering hitting the shelves, I thought it was a good time to catch up with Jason Kridner, the Co-Founder and Board President of BeagleBoard.org.

The Embedded Computing Design editorial staff is pleased to present this year’s embedded world Best-in-Show nominees in the Computer Boards, Systems, Components, & Peripherals category:

BeagleBoard.org is dedicated to open source and is proving it with its BeagleY-AI. The business card sized BeagleY-AI is compatible with popular accessories, add-on hardware, and enclosures, but BeagleBoard.org stays true to open source. The fanless hardware includes programmable processors capable of running 4 trillion operations per second (4 TOPS) suitable for executing deep learning algorithms.
