Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.0 on LKML: The last week of the release continued the same "lots of small fixes" trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I've tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it's a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the "new normal" at least for a while. Only time will tell. Anyway, this last week was a little bit of everything: networking (core and drivers), arch fixes, tooling and selftests, and various random fixes all over the place. Let's keep testing, and obviously tomorrow the merge window for 7.1 opens. I already have four dozen pull requests pending - thank you to all the early people. Linus This follows the Linux 6.19 release about two months ago, which brought us PCIe link encryption and

Learn something new every day! Today's lesson: a fundamental difference between x86 and ARM is how the return address for a function call is passed. The x86 CALL puts it on the stack, while ARM puts it not on the stack but in a register (Link Register LR, X30).

Now today's lesson comes from TAMUCTF2026, and it is about MIPS. There, the return address is also passed as register, just like on ARM. On MIPS, it's the Return Address register ($RA / $31).

Beim nächsten VCFe ziemlich sicher nicht in der Ausstellung zu sehen, aber vielleicht bei einer der Exkursionen in die datArena München: MIPS R6000 CPUs. Ausgeführt in stromhungriger aber schneller ECL-Technik. Das Foto zeigt das CPU-Board eines Control Data 4680 Servers aus 1990, betrieben unter den Unix-Derivat EP/IX. #VCFe #VCFe25.0 #vintagecomputing #mips #r6000 #ecl #controldata

Запускаем Tetris на домашнем роутерe

Интернет пестрит информацией о том, как запускают DOOM на различных устройствах. Захотелось и мне запустить Doom на своём стареньком TP-Link WR-841N. Как видно из заголовка статьи, у меня этого не получилось, но результатом стало понимание основ написания прошивок роутеров и работающий тетрис.

Reverse Engineering The PROM For The SGI O2

The SGI O2 was SGI’s last-ditch attempt at a low-end MIPS-based workstation back in 1996, and correspondingly didn’t use the hottest parts of the time, nor did it offer much of an upgra…

Linux 6.19 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linux 6.19 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 6.19 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML): No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected - just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today watching the latest batch of televised commercials. The betting man would expect them all to be AI-generated, but maybe some enterprising company decides to buck the trend? Doubtful, but there's always a slight chance. But for anybody outside the US, maybe taking the newest kernel out for a spin instead is an option? I have more than three dozen pull requests for when the merge window opens tomorrow - thank you to all the early maintainers. And as people have mostly figured out, I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to

8devices Maca 2 – A ultra-long-range data radio with 80km range for drones and robotics

8devices Maca 2 – A ultra-long-range data radio with 80km range for drones and robotics

8devices Maca 2 high-power plug-and-play ultra-long-range wireless data radio targets drones, UAS, robotics, interceptor systems, industrial IoT, and defense-grade communications, where long range, resilience, and scalability are critical. The device features high transmit power of up to 39 dBm (with 36 dBm per RF chain) and a receiver sensitivity of –98 dBm, and is designed for air-to-ground and point-to-point connectivity over distances of up to 80 km. To maintain stable links over extreme distances, the radio supports ultra-narrow channel widths ranging from 1.5 MHz to 19.5 MHz, significantly improving signal-to-noise ratio and resistance to interference and jamming. Additionally, it includes dual Ethernet, USB 2.0, UART, GPIO, and 14–33 V power input. It also supports industrial temperature operation and NDAA/TAA-compliant manufacturing. For unmanned systems, the radio allows users to manage bandwidth asymmetry. It's a feature where a user can allocate 90% of the channel to downstream video data while reserving 10%
