BeagleY-AI's board design files are published under Creative Commons and OSHWA-certified as US002616, with an open Linux/U-Boot toolchain and a public TI AM67A datasheet. The proprietary AM67A silicon and its DSP/WiFi firmware blobs are the caveat that keeps it short of fully open silicon.

  "AM67x Processors datasheet (Rev. B)" published openly on the part page, status ACTIVE

In stock at $70.00 with volume pricing at Seeed and orderable via TI, backed by the established BeagleBoard.org community, though recent (2024) so installed base trails Raspberry Pi. The AM67A it is built on is ACTIVE at TI with evaluation boards in stock.

4 TOPS plus an IMG BXS GPU suits edge vision and quantized CNNs, but fixed 4GB RAM and modest TOPS rule out large LLMs. The board page reads "Dual general-purpose C7x DSP with Matrix Multiply Accelerator (MMA) capable of 4 TOPs" and 4GB LPDDR4, which sits below the 6 TOPS RK3588 boards and well below the Jetson Orin line.

• https://docs.beagleboard.org/boards/beagley/ai/03-design.html recorded 2026-09-29

  Design page states "BeagleY-AI has 4GB of Kingston x32 LPDDR4 Memory." and "2x C7x DSPs with MMA support are intended for use as Deep Learning Accelerators".
