DEVHEADS WEEKLY OFFICE HOURS: 12/29/23
Happy Holidays, @everyone! On our last meeting we revealed:
* We’re working on a content calendar that will feature our community experts demonstrating how to solve specific development challenges
* Our community will “soft launch” on January 3rd. What does that mean? It means:
* We will start publishing educational/instructional and other social media content to drive users back to the community
* We encourage you to extend an invite link (https://discord.gg/devheads) out to your networks to help our community grow
Over the last couple weeks there’s been movement once again towards the notion of community development platforms that we can use to establish a shared understanding
before addressing complex topics and quickly iterate on top of when creating educational and other content.
So far there are two thrusts:
* Linux-capable with potential in commercial applications: Recommending the combination of BeaglePlay/BeagleV Fire and the PlatformIO IDE
* Deeply embedded (microcontroller): Create the TinyScarab board in collaboration with Embeetle and the Embeetle IDE
On our 12/29 meeting (at 15:00 GMT, as usual) we’d like to review these options and get moving in a definitive direction. One of the luxuries we have is a great collection of engineering talent, so we are eager to hear your feedback on features, cost, performance, roadmapping, etc.
Any thoughts or resources you can share in this thread ahead of time to help us prepare and make the most of our time are appreciated. We’ll see you Friday!

BeagleBoard
BeagleV®-Fire
New BeagleV-Fire features FPGA and RISC-V CPU and is available now around $150. Credit-card sized, Linux-enabled board based on Microchip Polarfire SoC offers high-speed I/O with BeagleBone cape compatible headers and SYZYGY and M.2 connectors.
PlatformIO
PlatformIO: Your Gateway to Embedded Software Development Excellence
Unlock the true potential of embedded software development with PlatformIO's collaborative ecosystem, embracing declarative principles, test-driven methodologies, and modern toolchains for unrivaled success.
Alright guys, so for our meeting tomorrow we're going to go through our normal routine and then discuss the proposed spread of development platforms listed above. From there we will go through some considerations like:
* Cost
* Global accessibility of the boards
* Accessibility of programmable Arm M cores (on BeaglePlay but deeply embedded)
* Development stacks
* Utility as a teaching/learning instrument
* How these might fit into our evolving content calendar
* Estimated time to completion of TinyScarab
* Potential to design TinyScarab as a multi-micro platform
* Other items of interest
If you have anything you'd like to discuss, as always, let me know and I'll add it to the agenda!
