Open Source Synergy at #EmbeddedWorld2026 ArmSoM Sige5 (RK3576) shined at
@collabora ’s booth, powering their LAVA Board Farm with mainline-first Linux support!
We’re deepening collaboration: #RK3576 mainline adaptation, ISP mainline integration for our custom camera module, and future Rockchip SoC mainline Linux support together with Collabora.
Grateful for the partnership in building a stronger open source #embedded ecosystem!

OpenSource Synergy | ArmSoM Sige5 × Collabora Shines at Embedded World 2026

From March 10 to 12, 2026, Embedded World 2026 was held in Nuremberg, Germany. ArmSoM’s Sige5 (RK3576) appeared at Collabora’s Booth #4-404 as core hardware in its LAVA board farm, demonstrating mainline-first Linux support — earning high recognition from Collabora officials and exhibition attendees. The two parties reached in-depth consensus on open source ecosystem cooperation, jointly advancing upstream development for the RK3576 platform and embedded hardware.VID-20260311-WA0000.mp4As a worl

Oh! And while the videos from #EmbeddedWorld2026 are still working their way through the editing process, #Hackster has put together a little teaser.

That teeny-tiny DJI camera I took is great. Shame about the oik in front of the lens, tho'!

And the TinkerNav, that I couldn't quite cram into 500 characters:

As a bonus for #GeminiProtocol users, the index page also has a little event diary from my trip to #EmbeddedWorld2026 - and the all-too-eventful journey *back* from the show, from which I am still recovering.

Right, #Hackster round-up time - and it's a big 'un, as I didn't post much last week owing to being absolutely run off my feet at #EmbeddedWorld2026

First up, a new Notecard from Blues (formerly Blues Wireless), which offers Wi-Fi, cellular, and non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite connectivity in one. They were showing it off at the show, though it's hard to get a good signal to LEO through the Messe roof...

Blues Goes for the Triple with the New Notecard for Skylo, with Wi-Fi, Cellular, and Satellite Comms

One module, three ways to connect — and, as always, you get a data bundle with the device to get you started.

I'm back from #EmbeddedWorld2026, but before I launch into the articles I've been writing I've got a different announcement: I've got a new book out!

It's a collaborative work, between me and nearly 10,000 other authors - and serves as a look at what the future of publishing could be like if the UK government (and others) go ahead and let the AI slopmongers plagiarise the world's knowledge wholesale.

ST ST64UWB Cortex-M85 ultra-wideband SoC supports IEEE 802.15.4z and 802.15.4ab UWB standards, radar sensing

STMicroelectronics ST64UWB Arm Cortex-M85 ultra-wideband (UWB) SoC family supports both the current IEEE 802.15.4z and the upcoming IEEE 802.15.4ab UWB standards for longer-range, more reliable positioning and secure proximity-based interactions. It mainly targets digital car keys, hands-free access, and smart-device detection. The family includes the ST64UWB-A100 (automotive entry), ST64UWB-A500 (automotive premium), and ST64UWB-C100 (industrial/smart home), all built on an 18 nm FD-SOI process that improves the RF link budget by ~3 dB, yielding roughly 50% additional range beyond what IEEE 802.15.4ab alone provides. The automotive-focused A-series offers ASIL-A(B) safety support, while the ST64UWB-C100 targets consumer and commercial applications. ST64UWB family specifications: MCU Core 32-bit Arm Cortex-M85 CPU with DP-FPU, MVE, and ETM Frequency Up to 100 MHz (ST64UWB-C100, ST64UWB-A100) Up to 256 MHz (ST64UWB-A500) Memory/Storage Integrated PCM Memory SRAM and Back-up SRAM Wireless Connectivity Ultra-wideband (UWB) Radio IEEE 802.15.4z-2020 and IEEE 802.15.4ab support UWB channels 5, 6, 8, 9, 10,

Had a really good time at #embeddedworld2026 and found some interesting stuff. My legs are killing me and I have two more hours at the airport before my flight, but it was worth it
