ubds-database

Open-source directory of embedded development boards, described in the Universal Board Description Standard (UBDS).

This repository holds three things:

• spec/ — the UBDS JSON Schema (v1.2). Start at spec/ubds-v1.schema.json.
• boards/ — one *.ubds.yaml file per board, validated against the schema by CI on every push and pull request.
• cli/ — dbf, a small Python CLI for validating, searching, and importing UBDS files. Install with pip install ./cli.

Boards can include a top-view image — see CONTRIBUTING.md §Adding a board image.
