Linux 6.15 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V and MIPS architectures

Linux 6.15 release

Linus Torvalds has just announced the release of Linux 6.15: So this was delayed by a couple of hours because of a last-minute bug report resulting in one new feature being disabled at the eleventh hour, but 6.15 is out there now. Apart from that final scramble, things looked pretty normal last week. Various random small fixes all over, with drivers as usual accounting for most of it. But we’ve got some bcachefs fixes, some core networking, and some mm fixes in there too. Nothing looks particularly scary. And this obviously means that the merge window opens tomorrow as usual, and I see the usual people being proactive and having sent me their pull requests. It’s memorial day tomorrow here in the US, but like the USPS, “neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night” – nor memorial day – stops the merge window. [ Actually, thinking back […]

NXP OrangeBox 2.0 automotive domain controller

NXP OrangeBox 2.0 is an NXP i.MX 94-powered V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) automotive domain controller development platform designed for modern vehicles. It works as a centralized controller between the vehicle’s gateway and its wired and wireless technologies, with features like Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.3, UWB, 5G cellular, and secure car access for automotive zone controllers, smart car access systems, and V2X communication systems. It’s the first i.MX 94 platform we’ve covered here, and NXP says the OrangeBox 2.0 delivers up to 4x the performance of its predecessor – the OrangeBox – based on an NXP i.MX 8XLite SoC. The i.MX 94’s Cortex-A55, Cortex-M7, and Cortex-M33 cores, and the eIQ Neutron NPU enable AI features such as an intelligent firewall and predictive maintenance. For cybersecurity, it includes post-quantum cryptography support, an EdgeLock secure enclave, and a functional safety island that meets ISO 26262 ASIL-B standards. Connectivity options include dual 2.5 Gbps and triple […]

LispDeck handheld lisp computer Runs uLisp on Teensy 4.1 with Wi-Fi, LoRa, and two screens

LispDeck handheld cyberdeck

Designed by Hartmut Graw, the LispDeck is a Handheld Lisp computer built around the Teensy 4.1 microcontroller for Lisp programming on the go. It features a dual-screen setup with a 5-inch touchscreen and, a secondary ST77350-based TFT display. It also has an Adafruit RFM96 radio module, an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, a rotary encoder, an SD card for storage, and a detachable wireless USB keyboard, all housed in a 3D-printed case. Running the uLisp language, it features a standalone Lisp programming environment without needing a PC or tablet. It is an evolution of the LispBox, with a portable and battery-powered design, which also maintains compatibility. Unlike Raspberry Pi-based cyberdecks, the LispDeck is designed for complete control over the system without the complexity of Linux. It is useful for Lisp enthusiasts who want a compact, dedicated computing device that’s fully documented. LispDeck Specifications SoC – NXP i.MX RT1062 via Teensy 4.1 board […]
