The BeagleBoard® BeagleBadge is a high-performance, fully programmable, open-source smart-wearable development board in a badge form factor. Powered by the low-power TI AM62L32 SoC, it includes a 4.2-inch ePaper display via a 24-pin FPC connector, and includes onboard sensing (IMU, ambient light, temperature & humidity) plus intuitive physical controls. With Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth® 5.2, and LoRaWAN connectivity—and Grove/Qwiic/mikroBUS expansion—it’s a versatile platform for interactive IoT, event badges, and portable human–machine interface (HMI) prototypes.

Feature:

Step into the future of interactive wearables with the BeagleBadge. Visually striking and ready out-of-the-box, its large 4.2-inch e-paper display and intuitive physical controls—including a 4-way joystick and tactile buttons—offer a dynamic user interface for everything from digital event badges to portable data dashboards. Combined with built-in sensors for tracking motion (IMU) and ambient light, it enables deeply context-aware interactions. Under the hood, the high-performance yet low-power TI AM62L32 processor and comprehensive wireless suite (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, LoRaWAN) ensure you have the computing and connectivity muscle to run complex edge computing or decentralized communication projects anywhere you go.

Prominent e-Paper Display & Intuitive UI

Designed as the ultimate smart badge, it features supports for a large 4.2" e-paper display via an FPC connector for crisp, low-power visualization. Combined with a 4-way joystick, tactile buttons, an RGB LED, and dual 7-segment displays, it offers a fully interactive out-of-the-box HMI experience.

Next-Gen Processing Power
