CircuitPython for BeagleBone AI-64?

Post by Skarate »

Does CircuitPython compatible with this board? Some people on the forum seem to have success with BeagleBone Black, so I'm wondering if there is also support for the AI-64 or if the Black would work for it.

For these SoC small computers (Beagle, Pi, etc) you use cpython3 and blinka to give access to CircuitPython libraries/drivers. See https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpytho ... rypi-linux.

You should have a look at https://circuitpython.org/blinka?q=beagle

Ok, I ran 'pip3 install Adafruit-Blinka' which installed successfully. I need to use the ultimate-gps with this board, so I downloaded adafruit-circuitpython-gps and the echo example here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpytho ... art-serial

When I try executing it with 'python3 code.py' (both 7.x and 8.x), I get the error "NotImplementedError: Board not supported TI_J721E_SK". Any ideas?

The BeagleBone AI-64 isn't supported by Blinka. See https://circuitpython.org/blinka for supported boards.

Hi @Skarate,

Did you find any workaround with Blinka for BB AI-64?

I am having the same problem with the Adafruit IMU breakout board.

Please let me know.

Thank you
