Linux 7.1 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.1 on LKML: So it’s only Sunday morning back home, but it’s Sunday afternoon where I am right now, so I’m doing the 7.1 release at the regular time – just not in the regular timezone. This obviously means that the merge window opens tomorrow, but I’ll be in yet another timezone by then, so timing will all be a bit irregular. Normally I try to front-load the merge window and do as much as possible the first few days – this time I’m not sure that will work out with my laptop and a couple of long flights without internet, but I’ve made sure that I have fetched the early pull requests (thank you – you know who you are), so I will be able to do some of it off-line. Anyway, possible slight hiccups in the merge window aside, the news today […]

Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.0 on LKML: The last week of the release continued the same “lots of small fixes” trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I’ve tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it’s a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the “new normal” at least for a while. Only time will tell. Anyway, this last week was a little bit of everything: networking (core and drivers), arch fixes, tooling and selftests, and various random fixes all over the place. Let’s keep testing, and obviously tomorrow the merge window for 7.1 opens. I already have four dozen pull requests pending – thank you to all the early people. Linus This follows the Linux 6.19 release about two months ago, which brought us PCIe link encryption and […]

BeagleBadge – A Linux-powered 4.2-inch ePaper badge based on TI Sitara AM62L32 SoC

The BeagleBoard.org Foundation has just introduced the BeagleBadge featuring a 4.2-inch ePaper display and a Linux-capable Texas Instruments Sitara AML62L32 dual-core Cortex-A53 SoC. It’s quite feature-rich for a badge, as it offers WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 LE, and LoRa/LoRaWAN connectivity, various motion and environmental sensors, a USB 2.0 host port, Mikrobus, Grove, and QWIIC expansion connectors, a 4-way joystick, a buzzer, and a range of buttons and LEDs. BeagleBadge specifications: SoC – Texas Instruments Sitara AM62L32 dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor @ 1.25GHz System Memory – 256 MB (128M x 16bit) LPDDR4 @ 1600 MHz Storage 4GB eMMC flash 256Mbit OSPI flash 32Kbit EEPROM MicroSD card slot Display 4.2-inch ePaper display via 24-pin FPC Connector MIPI DSI connector for LCD Wireless 2.4 GHz WiFi 6 + Bluetooth 5.3 via BeagleMod CC3301-1216 module with MHF4 Connector LoRaWAN via Wio SX1262 module with u.FL Connector USB USB 2.0 Type-A host port USB Type-C […]

PocketBeagle 2 SBC gets industrial version with 1GB RAM, 64GB eMMC flash

PocketBeagle 2 Industrial 1GB RAM 64GB eMMC flash

The PocketBeagle 2 Industrial is an update to the PocketBeagle 2 Rev A1 SBC featuring 1GB DDR4 RAM, a 64GB eMMC flash, and industrial temperature range support. The original board only comes with 512MB DDR4 memory, an eMMC flash footprint (unpopulated), and commercial temperature range support. Apart from those changes, the other specifications remain the same, with a Texas Instruments AM6254 quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC, an MSPM0L1105 Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, a microSD card slot, a USB-C port, UART and JTAG debugging support, and two 36-pin GPIO headers. Another difference is that the PCB is red for the PocketBeagle 2 Industrial (like the BeagleBone Black Industrial 4G), while the PocketBeagle 2 features a black PCB. PocketBeagle 2 Industrial specifications: Main SoC – Texas Instruments AM6254 CPU Quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1.4 GHz Arm Cortex-M4F real-time core @ 400 MHz with 256KB SRAM GPU – Imagination PowerVR Rogue AXE-1-16M with support for OpenGL […]

Linux 6.19 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 6.19 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML): No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected – just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today watching the latest batch of televised commercials. The betting man would expect them all to be AI-generated, but maybe some enterprising company decides to buck the trend? Doubtful, but there’s always a slight chance. But for anybody outside the US, maybe taking the newest kernel out for a spin instead is an option? I have more than three dozen pull requests for when the merge window opens tomorrow – thank you to all the early maintainers. And as people have mostly figured out, I’m getting to the point where I’m being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to […]
