More about the BeagleConnect project

The BeagleConnect project is part of BeagleBoard.org, a company dedicated to open source. ALC enjoys working on projects that can not only be shared here on this site, but also with the broader community. Here are some of the high level goals of the project.

Innovative abstraction

The BeagleConnect project is based around Greybus, a flexible interface first designed for Project Ara. It has been repurposed to enable flexible sensor solutions for IoT.

Accessible sensor data

The BeagleConnect is a project enabling sensor data back into Linux systems in a seamless way, over well known transport mechanisms.

A wide range of sensor hardware

The BeagleConnect project is designed to work with MikroElectronika Click Shields, which enables a wide range of end hardware. Many of the drivers for these boards are “in tree” for linux, enabling fast prototyping.

Open Source Hardware

The BeagleConnect project, and more broadly BeagleBoard.org, shares hardware design files with the community, enabling a richer ecosystem of peripherals and community contributions.
