Yocto Project 6.0 “Wrynose” released with Linux 6.18 LTS

The Yocto Project 6.0, codenamed "Wrynose", has just been released with Linux 6.18 LTS, about two years after Yocto Project 5.0 “Scarthgap” release with Linux 6.6 LTS. Over 240 contributors submitted over 4000 commits since the previous Yocto 5.3 “Whinlatter” minor release of the popular framework used to create custom embedded Linux distributions. Yocto Wrynose is a Long Term Support (LTS) release, which will be supported until at least April 2030. The project's developers especially highlight these 4 years of support, improved SBOM and CVE tracking features, and more secure defaults to ease compliance with the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Yocto Project 6.0 highlights: Linux kernel 6.18 LTS Toolchain updates: GCC 15.2, glibc 2.43, LLVM 22.1, Go 1.26, and Rust 1.94. New bitbake-setup tool to fetch layers and setup build directories. Support for BitBake configuration fragments, which can be managed with the new bitbake-config-build command. This enables better

DEEPX DX-AIPlayer N97 mini PC combines Intel N97 SoC and 25 TOPS DX-M1 AI accelerator

DEEPX has just launched the DX-AIPlayer, an ultra-compact edge AI mini PC with an Intel Processor "Alder Lake-N" N97 SoC and the company's DX-M1 M.2 AI accelerator module. The system is designed for real-time vision AI applications in robotics, smart cities, and factory automation. We’ve seen plenty of Alder Lake-N mini PCs like the Jetway B420UADN1, the Avalue EPC-ASL, the AAEON UP 710S, and various others, but the DX-AIPlayer N97 is different as it integrates the DX-M1 module via an M.2 2280 M-Key (PCIe Gen 3 x4) slot. The NPU delivers up to 25 TOPS of INT8 AI performance while consuming only 1 to 5 Watts of power, and features 4GB of dedicated LPDDR5 memory to handle larger workloads and multi-model execution without bottlenecking the host system's RAM. DEEPX DX-AIPlayer N97 specifications: SoC - Intel Processor N97 quad-core processor up to 3.6 GHz with 6MB cache, 24 EU Intel UHD graphics

omg first attempt at #yocto build succeeded

that might be one thing where it's better than buildroot, that it actually works

had it run overnight on a processor that refuses to go faster than 800 mhz. it only clicked while falling asleep that it does so because psu is too weak...
