Linux at the edge
Use a Linux environment for gateway services, local processing, and application integration.
Linux edge gateway
A1
More capability, closer to the system.
A Linux gateway architecture combining RISC-V compute with embedded connectivity for edge applications.
Hardware platform A1 · BeagleV-Fire compute board
ABSTRACT MACHINES / HARDWARE & ENGINEERINGSee how it works
The purpose
The idea behind
A1.
A1 extends the gateway concept to Linux workloads. Its architecture combines the A0 connectivity platform with BeagleV-Fire RISC-V compute, creating room for applications that need more than a microcontroller.
The Linux environment supports richer edge software and integration work. The documented platform is a starting point for engineering a gateway around your actual connectivity, processing, and deployment requirements.

and the thinking behind them.
RISC-V compute
Build on BeagleV-Fire’s PolarFire SoC platform and its combination of processor cores and FPGA fabric.
A connected architecture
Combine the A0 embedded connectivity layer with the capabilities of the Linux compute platform.
An open engineering foundation
Work from the hardware documentation and software stack to adapt the gateway to your installation.
From intent to action
