We previously noted that Raspberry Pi showcased a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W with a Raspberry Pi AI camera based on a Sony IMX500 intelligent vision sensor at Embedded World 2024, but it was not available at the time. The good news is that the Raspberry Pi AI camera is now available for $70 from your favorite distributor.

Released remotely from Vienna, Linux kernel 6.11 is here, with improved monochrome TV support. Yes, in 2024. Emperor penguin Linus Torvalds was attending the Open Source Summit in the Austrian capital, but that didn't stop him working-from-hotel and emitting the latest and greatest Linux kernel.

With the third quarter drawing to a close, here's a look back at the most popular Linux/open-source related content for the quarter. This quarter there's been more than 730 news articles and 50 Linux hardware reviews / featured benchmark articles all written by your's truly covering a range of areas.

Raspberry Pi has launched a new low-cost AI Camera, bringing powerful AI capabilities to all Raspberry Pi models. Unlike the AI Kit, which is limited to the Raspberry Pi 5, the AI Camera is more versatile and compatible with a wider range of devices.

Environment variables are system-defined variables that store values used by the operating system and applications. For example, on a Windows machine, information like the CPU type and the number of processors are stored as environment variables.

Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms or BLAS is a specification created in the 70s/80s by members of academia from US public institutions. The aim was the standardization and speed improvement for low-level linear algebra operations.

The hardware monitoring "HWMON" subsystem updates for Linux 6.12 added some new drivers as well as adding new device support to some of the existing drivers.

The latest release of the de facto default desktop of most Linux distros brings some new features – but the GNOME 4x transition isn't done yet. GNOME 47 was released last week, codenamed "Denver" after the venue for this year's GUADEC event.

The E20C Mini Network Titan from Radxa is powered by the Rockchip RK3528A System-on-Chip and features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. Its ultra-compact form factor and aluminum case are designed to provide a space-efficient solution for various network applications.

Mozilla is releasing a vision for Public AI, a robust ecosystem of initiatives that promote public goods, public orientation and public use throughout every step of AI development and deployment.

As expected the Linux 6.12-rc1 kernel is out today in marking the end of the very exciting two-week Linux 6.12 merge window that saw many high profile features land.

Raspberry Pi has launched a camera module with AI smarts on board. But all that inferencing goodness comes at a price. Looking for all the world like a normal camera module – if ever so slightly thicker – the Raspberry Pi AI Camera is based on Sony's IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor, which combines a 12.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor with on-board inferencing.

The ATOMS3R Camera Kit M12 is a compact, programmable IoT controller featuring a 3-megapixel OV3660 camera for high-resolution image capture. Designed for IoT applications, motion detection, wearable devices, and educational development, its small form factor is suited for various embedded projects.

A major new release of Mission Center, a modern system monitor app for Linux desktops, has been released.

Have an NVIDIA GPU? Use GE-Proton? You should probably make sure you're on GE-Proton 9-15 which was just released. This is a "hotfix" build to clear up some problems from the previous recent release.

The x86 platform driver changes that were merged last week for the Linux 6.12 kernel continue to be quite lively with changes for enhancing Linux laptop support along with other Intel platform improvements.

VirtualBox 7.1.2 is the first such point release since the VirtualBox 7.1 series debuted earlier this month. Naturally, it builds on that major release with a flurry of big fixes, performance finesse, and UI refinements, and adds a few new features.

The HiFiBerry DAC8x and HiFiBerry Amp4 Pro are two significant upgrades for enhancing audio capabilities on the Raspberry Pi 5. These devices expand the audio options for users seeking higher-quality output and greater flexibility in audio configurations, offering solutions for both multi-channel audio and powerful stereo amplification.

The Linux 6.12 merge window is wrapping up today with the release of Linux 6.12-rc1 in the coming hours. This is going to be a heck of an exciting kernel.

We've already looked at the Radxa X4 kit featuring an Intel N100 SBC with a design similar to the Raspberry Pi 5 and accessories including a Radxa Power PD 30W power adapter, an NVMe SSD, and a USB-C to USB-C cable in the first part of the review, before installing Ubuntu 24.04 on the board.
