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

Does anyone know where I can get a Quad #SATA #HAT for a #Raspberry #Pi?
I see #Seeed and #Radxa used to make these kind of things, but nowhere can I actually find such a hat for sale, it's all out of stock.

The built-in #dietpi dashboard is very nice. #radxa

#RaspberryPi Zero W experiment failed and it's back in its ziplok. Just could not get DietPi to configure correctly, kernel panic this, couldn't recognize driver that, kept hanging at boot. Fucking piece of shit.

Now prepping my old #Radxa Zero (the original!) for the task. Should still be ultra low wattage, but way faster. They said once upon a time that it was 70% of the speed of a Pi4. Installing some additional software and will boot to kiosk browser. Should be a better experience.

This board turns a Raspberry Pi CM5 into a NAS with support for 5 HDDs

The Radxa Taco is a carrier board for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module that gives you ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports plus a microSD card reader and M.2 2280 and M.2 2230 slots. But this board also has SATA connectors that let your compute module to power a network-attached storage system with up to five hard drives.

When Radxa first launched the Taco board in 2022 it supported the Raspberry Pi […]

Checking out #DietPi on #Radxa Rock 4B+ - it works surprisingly well and I adore how much effort devs put into making the tools for the system’s personalization. It’s easier than ever to install needed packages and even choose a GUI. Cool 🙌🏻

OwO what's this?

This is my new Raxda Rock 5T

And it runs GNU Guix of course!

Honestly, I'm really suprised by how well and smooth my transition from x86_64 to arm64 went, everything pretty much just works.

Huge thanks to Collabora for their efforts on upstreaming RK3588 and these boards specifically!

Literally no one: –

Me: how about having some unnecessary #BGA #soldering practice in the shape of upgrading #RAM on a #Radxa 4B Plus from 2GB to 4GB? 🤣

Well that did not go as planned.

I used Samsung K4F6E3S4HMMGCJ 2GB RAM chips from #RaspberryPi 4B. With those Radxa would power on, but won't boot and won't go into recovery mode. Only Maskrom works but I wasn't able even to flash a firmware.

Originally it has two HYNIX H9HCNNN8KUMLHR-NME chips - I wonder what makes those different... 🤔
