Devboard watch: Time to play the BeaglePlay
The slogan for the BeaglePlay is “producing advancement do the job into engage in! ” The plan is that “connections make computing fun” and this board supports a huge assortment of sensor and prototyping system connections…
It’s powered by 1.4GHz quad-main Cortex-A53 processing (the 64-little bit TI AM625) which suggests its moving into Raspberry Pi-like territory, suggests our Technological innovation Editor – he lined the board in element previous week, as you can read right here.
Linux
What is a BeaglePlay precisely, although? The Beagleboard team respond to that dilemma:

“Linux computing designed straightforward and enjoyable with 1,000s of accessible off-the-shelf sensors, actuators, indicators and connectivity alternatives about mikroBUS, Grove, and QWIIC connections, a TI Sitara AM625 method-on-chip with 1.4GHz quad-main Arm Cortex-A53, PRU and M4 microcontrollers, Gigabit Ethernet, comprehensive-dimensions HDMI, USB, 5GHz, 2.4GHz and sub-1GHz wireless, and single-pair Ethernet with energy-about-data-line. Digital camera and touchscreen display ribbon-cable connectors also integrated.”
Also, it can deal with remote sensors – utilizing BeagleConnect technologies, around the sub-1GHz IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network, it can link to a BeagleConnect Independence (based mostly on the TI CC1352P7 wi-fi MCU operating Zephyr and Micropython) up to 1km away.
Advised applications range from Edge AI or Vision Analytics to POS Automation or Industrial HMI uses…

Measuring 8cm squared, it’s priced at £80.
