Terasic has introduced the Atum Nios V Starter Kit, a feature-rich evaluation platform designed to accelerate development with Altera’s Nios V processor. The kit is aimed at embedded engineers, system developers, and educators looking for a practical way to explore RISC-V–based designs on the Agilex 3 FPGA platform. According to Terasic’s announcement, the kit is […]

Small Granite 4.0 models are available today, with ‘thinking,’ medium, and nano variants releasing later this year.

Artificial intelligence works when humans use it wisely Over the past two years, the open source curl project has been flooded with bogus bug reports generated by AI models.…

GL.iNet has introduced the Comet PoE (GL-RM1PE), a compact remote KVM device for server management, industrial systems, NVR setups, and HomeLab use. It supports 4K@30 FPS remote display, two-way audio, PoE for simplified deployment, and includes onboard storage with self-hosted cloud support. The Comet PoE is equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, paired with […]

Fedora’s beta releases offer one of the earliest glimpses into the next major version of the distribution — letting users and developers poke, test, and report issues before the final version ships... This beta is largely feature-complete: developers hope it will closely match what the final release looks like (barring last-minute fixes). The goal is to surface regression bugs, UX issues, and compatibility problems before Fedora 43 is broadly adopted.

After Linus Torvalds yesterday shot down RISC-V big endian prospects for the Linux kernel, today he has used his authority to wage a war on "crazy" Rust code formatting as well as to critique poor text formatting...

Following last month's release of the first KDE Plasma 6.5 Beta, a second beta milestone was released today ahead of the stable release coming later in October...

Simulating physics is central to robotics: before a robot ever moves in the real world, much of its learning, testing, and control happens in a virtual environment. But traditional simulators often struggle to match real-world physical complexity, especially where contact, friction, deformable materials, and unpredictable surfaces are involved. That discrepancy is known as the sim-to-real gap, and it’s one of the biggest hurdles in robotics and embodied AI... the Linux Foundation announced that it is contributing Newton, a next-generation, GPU-accelerated physics engine, as a fully open, community-governed project. This move aims to accelerate robotics research, reduce barriers to entry, and ensure long-term sustainability under neutral governance.

Following the recent Raspberry Pi 500+ launch, the latest Raspberry Pi news is the release of Raspberry Pi OS now re-based against Debian 13 "Trixie" along with some additional changes...

Valve just published the Steam Survey results for September with a slight increase to the Linux gaming userbase...

The hardware monitoring "HWMON" subsystem updates have been sent out for the Linux 6.18 kernel with some notable additions...

Crowd Supply recently featured the SigCore UC, an upcoming universal industrial I/O controller that combines rugged hardware with open-source software for engineers, researchers, and educators seeking a flexible control and data acquisition platform. Unlike typical development boards or expansion modules, SigCore UC arrives as a complete, ready-to-deploy solution. It is capable of handling real-world voltages, […]

TrueNAS 25.10-RC1 is out today as the newest test release of this OpenZFS+Linux-based operating system for network attached storage (NAS) hardware and other storage devices...

Made public and mitigated within the mainline Linux kernel last month was the VMSCAPE vulnerability affecting both AMD and Intel CPUs. Now merged for the in-development Linux 6.18 kernel is adding VMSCAPE to the recently-introduced Attack Vector Controls functionality...

Forlinx Embedded has introduced the OK3506-S12 Mini, a compact single board computer built around the Rockchip RK3506J processor. The board is intended for industrial applications that benefit from modest power consumption, stable operation, and long-term supply availability. The system-on-module integrates the RK3506J, which combines three Cortex-A7 cores running at up to 1.5GHz with a Cortex-M0 […]

Linus Torvalds has come out strong against proposed support for RISC-V big endian capabilities within the Linux kernel...

Due to rising demand around system memory being pushed up in large part by HBM for AI applications, Raspberry Pi announced price increases on select products to help offset the rising LPDDR costs...

F-Droid says Google's developer registration rule could end its open-source app store and strand users. Google defends verification as a security step.

Merged as part of the kernel hardening updates for Linux 6.18 is not a direct hardening improvement but rather a long overdue enhancement to the kernel configuration "Kconfig" system. The introduction of this new "transitional" keyword for Kconfig options can ease the process of renaming Kconfig options across kernel versions with less breakage/headaches for those maintaining their own kernel configurations/builds...

The XFS file-system updates have been merged for the Linux 6.18 merge window...
