The Beagle platform continues to amaze! Given the proliferation of smartphones,the idea of holding in one hand a computer that is capable of performing two
billion instructions per second is easy to take for granted—but the fact that you
can modify the hardware and software of such small yet powerful devices and
adapt them to suit your own needs and create your own inventions is nothing
short of amazing. Even better, you can purchase a board for as little as $25 in
the form of a PocketBeagle.
The Beagle boards on their own are too complex to be used by a generalaudience; it is the capability of the boards to run Linux that makes the resulting
platform accessible, adaptable, and powerful. Together, Linux and embedded
systems enable ease of development for devices that can meet future challenges
in smart buildings, the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, smart energy, smart
cities, human-computer interaction (HCI), cyber-physical systems, 3D printing,
smart manufacturing, interactive art, advanced vehicular systems, and many,
many more applications.
The integration of high-level Linux software and low-level electronics repre-sents a paradigm shift in embedded systems development. It is revolutionary
that you can build a low-level electronics circuit and then install a Linux web
server, using only a few short commands, so that the circuit can be controlled
over the internet. You can easily use a Beagle board as a general-purpose Linux
computer, but it is vastly more challenging and interesting to get underneath
the hood and fully interface it to electronic circuits of your own design—and
that is where this book comes in!
