CIX ClawCore Armv9.2 CPU family targets OpenClaw deployments

OpenClaw CPU CIX ClawCore

OpenClaw was just introduced a few months ago, but we’ve already seen several low-footprint implementations, and some companies even ship mini PCs preloaded with OpenClaw. But today, I was just informed that CIX had gone further, and introduced the ClawCore Armv9.2 CPU family specifically designed/optimized for OpenClaw. The family will be comprised of three main SKUs: ClawCore-P (勁螯芯  “Powerful Claw”) – High-performance model with 12-core CPU @ 3.2GHz, Immortalis-G720 GPU, 45 TOPS AI compute, and support for up to 64GB LPDDR5 RAM. Aimed at high-parallelism, large-capacity scenarios. Shipping starts now in March 2026. ClawCore-A (智螯芯  “AI/Smart Claw”) – Octa-core CPU @ 3.0GHz, 80 TOPS AI compute (expandable to 200 TOPS via PCIe AI card), up to 64GB LPDDR5. It’s designed for 24/7 use, supports full-chain ECC, hardware security (encryption/key management), and enables up to 50% reduction in model token costs via local inference. In practise, 80 to 90% of requests […]

KiCad 10 release – Dark mode, graphical DRC rule editor, new file importers, and more

Kicad 10.0

KiCad 10 open-source EDA software has just been released with support for dark mode, importers for Allegro, PADS, and gEDA/Lepton PCB, and various changes to the Schematic Editor (e.g., hop-over display) and the PCB Editor, notably adding a graphical DRC rule editor. KiCad 10 was built by hundreds of developers, translators, library contributors, and documentation submitters, who submitted 7,609 unique commits after KiCad 9 was released in February 2025. The new version also gains 952 new symbols, 1216 new footprints, and 386 new 3D models. Some UI and usability improvements include dark mode support (Windows only), customizable toolbars, undo/redo support in dialogs, lasso/freeform selection instead of only rectangular selection, and new importers for Allegro, PADS, and gEDA/Lepton PCB. Schematic editing gains support for variants (e.g., single project with different BoM), hop-over display, jumper support, grouping support, and pin table CSV export/import. PCB Design adds time-domain tuning beyond just length constraints […]

Enabling MediaTek M7902 WiFi and Bluetooth drivers on Ubuntu 24.04 the easy way

Mediatek MT7902 Linux

Last month, we noted that Mediatek MT7902 WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.x chipset finally got drivers in mainline Linux, and should be part of the Linux 7.0 release. MT7902 wireless modules are used in many Windows laptops, but users have been asking for the Linux drivers for almost two years now. One method is to wait for the drivers to find their way into your distribution, but “hmtheyboy154” didn’t feel like waiting and backported the drivers to Linux 6.6 to 6.19. Since I own one of those laptops, namely the ASUS Vivobook 16, I gave it a try on Ubuntu 24.04, but it should work on other Linux distributions as well. Note that this method only works with the PCIe driver, so if you own an SDIO module, you’d need to work out another solution. My Ubuntu 24.04 laptop is indeed using an MT7902 PCIe module (AW-XB552NF):

I could […]
