BeagleBone™ AI


Built on the proven BeagleBoard.org® open-source Linux approach, BeagleBone® AI fills the gap between small SBCs and more robust industrial computers. Based on the Texas Instruments AM5729, developers have access to the powerful SoC with the ease of BeagleBone® Black header and mechanical compatibility. BeagleBone® AI makes it easy to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in everyday life via the TI C66x digital-signal-processor (DSP) cores and embedded-vision-engine (EVE) cores supported through an optimized TIDL machine learning OpenCL API with pre-installed tools—focused on simple automation in industrial, commercial and home applications.
