@rayk yeah, my biggest concern there is mostly going to be sane mapping of devices into the container(s) for #zephyr / #zmk for flashing, twister, etc.
Toradex OSM and Lino SoMs – 30×30mm NXP i.MX 93/i.MX 91 modules with solder-down or B2B connector designs

Toradex has launched two new ultra-compact (30x30mm) System-on-Module (SoM) families: OSM and Lino, powered by NXP i.MX 91 or i.MX 93 Arm Cortex-A55 SoC for Edge industrial and IoT applications. The OSM iMX91 and OSM iMX93 variants comply with the OSM Size-S standard, featuring a 332-ball contact grid designed to be soldered to the carrier board. The Lino is a proprietary format that keeps the OSM Size-S dimensions but features two board-to-board (B2B) connectors offering more flexibility for potential replacement or future upgrades. Toradex Lino iMX91/iMX93 system-on-module Toradex Lino specifications: SoC (one or the other) NXP i.MX 93 CPU 2x Arm Cortex-A55 up to 1.7 GHz 2x Arm Cortex-M33 up to 250 MHz GPU – PXP 2D GPU with blending/composition, resize, and color space conversion NPU – Arm Ethos-U65 NPU @ 1 GHz up to 0.5 TOPS Security – EdgeLock Secure Enclave NXP i.MX 91 CPU - Single-core Arm Cortex-A55

Though I never got fully invested in #zephyr #rtos, and although the interoperability with different #MCU's and vendors have a lot of appeal, I don't know how effective it'd be?

Peripherals implemented by different vendors may be fundamentally different. Requiring different strategy on utilising them and implementing code.

My @igalia colleague Ricardo Cañuelo has just published a very interesting step-by-step guide on the design and implementation of a technical demo of his work on #Zephyr. Check it out!

https://blogs.igalia.com/rcn/posts/20260317-why_dont_we_do_a_demo_part_1/index.html

This is just the first part, and more details will be presented in future blog posts.

Why don't we do a demo? Part 1: the plan

@timonsku yes! Nordic sent me a sample a while back, and I'm itching to get ZMK updated to new enough #zephyr that we can use it.

I realize this is a stretch, but has anyone worked with #Zephyr on #NixOS? I'm getting an error because GCC pulled in by Zephyr is dynamically linked and NixOS does not like that.

Texas Instruments MSPM0G5187 and AM13Ex MCUs integrate TinyEngine NPU for Edge AI applications

Texas Instruments MSPM0G5187 and AM13Ex are two new microcontroller (MCU) families featuring the company's  TinyEngine neural processing unit (NPU) to enable low-latency, high-efficiency Edge AI/Machine Learning inference on the chips. TI claims that the TinyEngine NPU can run AI models with up to 90 times lower latency and more than 120 times lower energy utilization per inference than similar MCUs without an accelerator.  The MSPM0G5187 is a general-purpose, low-power Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU, while the AM13Ex Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller targets real-time motor control, starting with the AM13E23019 SKU. TI MSPM0G5187 general-purpose Cortex-M0+ MCU Key features and specifications: CPU - Arm Cortex-M0+ @ 80 MHz Memory - 32 KB RAM with ECC Storage - 128 KB flash with ECC, 8 KB data flash with ECC Accelerators TinyEngine NPU for AI/ML delivering up to 2.56GOPS (Giga Operations Per Second) at 80MHz MATHACL math accelerator Peripherals USB - 1x USB 2.0 (12 Mbps) Audio
