Boardcon Tiny1126B is a smaller and lighter Rockchip RV1126B system-on-module, yet with more I/Os
Boardcon Tiny1126B shrinks the company's MINI1126B-P Rockchip RV1126B system-on-module (SoM) from 38x30mm to 34x30mm, targeting even more compact AI vision systems such as smart cameras, smart door locks, inspection cameras, cleaning/logistics robots, DMS (Driver Monitoring Systems), BSD (Blind Spot Detection) solutions, and smart displays. Despite its smaller size, the Tiny1126B features two 0.4mm pitch 100-pin connectors, instead of two 0.5mm pitch 80-pin connectors for its predecessors, offering even more I/Os. It's notably gaining a USB 3.0 DRD (Dual-Role Device) interface, an extra SDMMC interface, one additional SPI and I2C interfaces, Fast Ethernet, and more. The rest of the specifications, including memory capacity (up to 4GB LPDDR5) and storage (up to 256GB eMMC flash), remain the same.

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
Advantech MIO-5356 – An industrial 3.5-inch SBC based on Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake” SoC
Advantech MIO-5356 is the very first hardware platform based on the upcoming Intel Core Series 3 (Core 300) "Wildcat Lake" SoC we've seen. It's a 3.5-inch SBC designed for industrial applications and powered by up to the Intel Core 7 350 hexa-core processor. The fanless board supports up to 64GB DDR5 memory, NVMe SSD storage, up to three independent displays via USB-C, HDMI, and LVDS interface, 2.5GbE and GbE networking with TSN and OOB management, and WiFi, Bluetooth, and Cellular connectivity via M.2 sockets.

Velxio is an open-source, self-hosted Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 simulator
Velxio is an open-source, self-hosted simulator for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi boards that works directly in your web browser. You can drag-and-drop boards, connect components and modules, write and run code in Arduino or Python, and access the serial console, all without hardware. If it looks similar to what the Wokwi simulator has to offer, it's because Velxio was inspired by it and even integrates the AVR8 CPU emulator, RP2040 emulator, and QEMU fork for ESP32 Xtensa emulation from the Wokwi project. But the key difference is that Velxio can be self-hosted, although there's also an online demo. Velxio currently supports 19 targets across five architectures AVR8 (ATmega / ATtiny) Arm Cortex-M0+ (Raspberry Pi RP2040) RISC-V RV32IMC/EC (ESP32-C3 / CH32V003) Xtensa LX6/LX7 (ESP32 / ESP32-S3 via QEMU) Arm Cortex-A53 (Raspberry Pi 3 Linux via QEMU) The project also offers 48 components. The developer mentions that additional features compared to
Raspberry Pi 4 3GB launched for $83.75, further price increases announced across the board for 4GB+ RAM hardware
This may sound like an April Fool's joke, but the Raspberry Pi 4 with 3GB RAM is real and now offered for $83.75. Raspberry Pi also announced another round of price increase for Raspberry Pi 4/5/CM4/CM5 due to a "seven-fold increase over the last year in the price of LPDDR4 DRAM". As far as I know, 3GB LPDDR4 chips do NOT exist or are very rare, so the new SBC likely relies on the Raspberry Pi 4 dual RAM PCB variant introduced last month, and features two 1.5GB LPDDR4 chips for a total of 3GB of RAM. Apart from the memory capacity, nothing else changes. If you are still skeptical, you'll find the Raspberry Pi 4 3GB listed on the product page and on resellers such as Robu (India) and RaspberryPi.dk. It's also not the first SBC with 3GB of RAM around, since Orange Pi 4 LTS was introduced with
