#SciFi #Unwiring is a collaborative story by IIRC #cstross and #CoryDoctorow about seeding a country with a network of wireless nodes.

#FidoNet was (is?) a decentralised message passing network in the modem age.
#CIX and the program for it #AMEOL2 also allowed a phone call to receive and pass many forum messages to read and compose at leisure.
There is an #RFC for IP traffic by #pigeon which is extreme, but packets could go by USB stick, QR code ...

Finally got my own #ARM motherboard with #CIX P1 SoC!

2026 has already begun as the #yearofthelinuxdesktop, should I tag it as #yearofthearmlinuxdesktop? Can't wait for the RISC-V chips!

CIX releases P1 CPU TRM and developer guides for GPU, AI accelerator, OS and firmware/BIOS

CIX has finally released the technical reference manual (TRM) for the P1 (CD8180/CD8160) Arm Cortex-A720/A520 SoC, along with developer guides for the GPU (Arm Immortalis G720 and NVIDIA/AMD discrete graphics cards), the AI accelerator, as well as OS (Android, Linux, and Windows) and firmware (BIOS) installation and development. A slow (but steady?) progress There was a lot of excitement when the Radxa Orion O6 mini-ITX motherboard was introduced in December 2024, as we were told the CIX P1 12-core Armv9 processor would offer performance similar to Apple M1 SoC and Qualcomm 8cx Gen3 platform, at an affordable price ($199 and up for the mini-ITX board), and software support would include a Debian image, full UEFI via an open-source EDKII implementation, as well as an SDK along with hardware and software documentation, community forum support, and regular firmware & OS updates. CIX was even called "a native open source ecosystem chip

Radxa Orion O6N is a nano-ITX board with a powerful CIX P1 12-core processor

Last year Radxa introduced a mini-ITX motherboard called the Orion O6 that  has a 12-core processor featuring high-performance Arm-based CPU cores and an NPU that delivers up to 30 TOPS of AI performance. Now the company has unveiled a smaller model.

The new Radxa Orion 06N is a nano-ITX board with a similar processor. While it should deliver similar CPU, graphics, and AI performance, the […]
