squash some warnings (found during all-artifacts+all-images builds on CI) When building "all" the things, these kind of innofensive WARNs pile up. Clean them up a bit. Raises the estimate of 2000MiB to 2300MiB for CLI images. This was determined empirically. binfmts: don't raise warning if qemu-arm failed to load under aarch64 (some are native, some are emulated, all are good) reported by @igorpecovnik on Discord, during massive CI build, when armhf builds landed on arm64 builders logging: squash undue warnings rootfs/aptcache rootfs is built with BOARD= so just live with it (idea about this warn was that families might hook rootfs build process) count, instead of…

LOLIN S3 Mini is a tiny ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth IoT development board that follows the Wemos D1 Mini form factor and supports its equally tiny stackable shields to add relays, displays, sensors, and so on. Wemos/LOLIN introduced their first ESP32-S3 board last year with the LOLIN S3 board with plenty of I/Os and an affordable $7 price tag. But I prefer the company’s Mini form factor because of its size and the ability to select add-on boards to easily add a range of features to your projects. So I’m pleased to find out the company has now launched the LOLIN S3 Mini following the ESP32-C3 powered LOLIN C3 Mini board unveiled in March 2022. LOLIN S3 Mini specifications…

by popular demand: bring back KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes during image build It seems I was once again terribly wrong. People love KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes and specially the ability to select in dialog, and specially the one-step config+build all at once. Sorry for inconvenience caused... partially revert 6ef394d95de6a113099caf3d31b668c04dda3862 (thus bring back the TUI/dialog for selecting KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes/no) partially revert d890b418c7107af183b5f1f2a9304923537766c4 (thus bring back the capacity to config & build image in one go) stop after configuring kernel, but only if command is kernel-config, not regular image-build KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes View the full article

Previously I reviewed Beelink’s SER6 Pro mini PC when it was released with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor, mentioning that a ‘refreshed’ model had since been released. Beelink have kindly sent me this updated model which now uses an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS. Given this is virtually an identical processor with just a 50 MHz improvement to the boost frequency, this review will look at confirming that the Windows performance is just as good as before and also revisiting the issues faced previously with the USB4 port. Spoiler alert: the USB4 now works perfectly! Beelink SER6 Pro 7735S specification Beelink list the SER6 Pro 7735HS specifications as: with the only differences to the…

If BOOT_SCENARIO is not declared it will be only-blobs by default, which will not build tpl/u-boot-tpl.bin and spl/u-boot-spl.bin needed by spi image creating.

Pico Technology has released PicoVNA 5 control software for their vector network analyzers for Windows x86 64-bit, Mac, Linux x86 64-bit, and Raspberry Pi 3 and greater single board computers, superseding the Windows-only PicoVNA 3 software. As a Ubuntu user, I hate it when some hardware tool forces me to install software on Windows when there’s no Linux alternative, so any company that provides cross-platform tools is making the right move. I’m also not quite sure what a “vector network analyzer” (VNA) is, so I’ll first look into the PicoVNA 106 and PicoVNA 108 6/8.5 GHz VNAs from the company. PicoVNA 106/108 vector network analyzers highlights and specifications: Freque…

Description These patches fix an issue present on newer Kernels (6.1+, no idea if older kernels are affected as well), where the thermal sensors are unavailable (/sys/class/thermal is empty). By applying these patches, thermal sensors are available to use. The problem seems to be related by how Linux thermal driver drivers/thermal/thermal_of.c handles thermal zones without trips defined - if it doesn't exist, throw an error. I'm not Linux expert, but it looks like 6.1 brought some thermal driver refactoring, which might have caused this behavior. Before the patches, with logging verbosity set to 7, there's also an error present in boot log related to the sensor's init p…

When Rockchip first introduced the Rockchip RK3399 processor with a PCIe interface people initially hoped they could connect graphics card, but those hopes were quickly squashed due to a 32MB addressing limit. However, the PCIe implementation on the newer Rockchip RK3588 processor does not have such a limitation, and last November, Radxa teased a demo with an AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 PCIe graphics card connected to the Rock 5B SBC running the glxgears demo on the Radeon GPU.

Corsair MP600 Mini is a high-performance M.2 2230 SSD based on the Phison E21T controller that delivers up to 4800MB/s sequential read and write performance and designed to be used in Valve’s Steam Deck, Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 and 9, and other products that won’t take a M.2 2280 SSD. We are seeing more and more single board computers and other electronics products use M.2 sockets for storage, but the smaller boards won’t take the traditional M.2 2280 SSDs that usually deliver better performance than smaller M.2 2230/2242/2260 drives, and so performance may be impacted on this type of hardware. But the Corsair MP600 Mini changes that with high sequential and random read…

The ISC DHCP server (dhcpd) was traditionally used to set up a DHCP server in Linux, but the software is reaching end-of-life, and the Internet Systems Consortium is now recommending their own Kea DHCP server or alternatives such as Dnsmasq or udhcpd (as found in Busybox) as a replacement. I was unaware of this having just used the isc-dhcp-server package to set up a DHCP server in NanoPi R6C router/mini PC earlier this month. But a blog post on Ubuntu informed us dhcpd was going away, and Canonical plans to switch over the Kea DHCP server instead. The main difference from the user perspective is that Kea relies on JSON configuration files so all your dhcpd files will hav…

A few years ago I reviewed the ICE Tower CPU cooling fan for Raspberry Pi 4 which is an oversized heatsink with a cooling fan and some RGB LEDs that obviously does its job at cooling the board, but the main benefit is really its aesthetics. 52Pi has now designed another ICE Tower cooling fan for the Orange Pi 5 SBC, and the new Orange Pi 5B, with the same concept except for its low-profile design. It’s probably not needed for the Orange Pi 5 which should do fine with a heatsink, but it may help for the Orange Pi 5B due to the extra heat from the WiFi 6 module. A company representative for 52Pi told us that: I have seen this Orange Pi 5B motherboard posted on your site, th…
