It’s hard to believe 2024 is nearly over. But what a year it has been here at BeagleBoard.org Foundation.
• We saw the release of BeagleY-AI—our low-cost, open-source, and community-supported development platform designed for developers, hobbyists, and anyone looking for a reliable single-board computer.
• We sponsored three successful Google Summer of Code (GSoC) participants, where our mentees worked on free and open-source coding projects.
• We also worked on advancing other open-source technologies like Microblocks, Greybus, Micropython on Zephyr, and dynamic device tree overlays in Linux.
As 2024 draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to give thanks for several important milestones BeagleBoard.org celebrated this year.
The BeagleCast 2024 Holiday Special discusses developments in BeagleY-AI, community growth, and future projects for 2025—including the imminent release of PocketBeagle 2.
