Raspberry Pi ☛ A big bang update for TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers
But there’s more: beyond that, Pete has updated the port, speeding up the default CMSIS-NN implementation for Conv2D by splitting it across both cores on the RP2040, and adding dual-core optimisations to depthwise convolutions. For the first time, we have dual-core support for TensorFlow on RP2040! If you’re interested in some of the detail behind the updates, Pete has put together a fascinating write-up of the memory layout issues he ran into while debugging the optimisations.
The upshot? These updates and changes reduce the time for the person detection benchmark code from 824ms to 588ms. That’s a ×1.4 speed increase!

CNX Software ☛ EVN Alpha is a LEGO-compatible robotics controller built around Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU (Crowdfunding)
The EVN Alpha is a robotics project from a team based in Singapore and is aimed at roboticists seeking an advanced building platform beyond what LEGO Robotics kits offer. This robotics controller can be considered a spiritual successor to the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 intelligent brick. It runs on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller with two Cortex M0+ cores running at a maximum clock speed of 133 MHz and 264KB of embedded SRAM and builds upon the rich software support available for the microcontroller.

CNX Software ☛ Mcuzone MPS2280 M.2 NVMe HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 takes an up to 22110 Gen3 SSD drive
The Mcuzone MPS2280 M.2 NVMe HAT is another PCIe to NVMe adapter board built for the Raspberry Pi 5. What sets it apart from other boards is that it supports 2280 SSDs and offers the option to Jerry-rigg a 22110 SSD with zip ties. Previously we have covered many PCIe to NVMe expansion boards such as Pimoroni NVMe Base, Geekworm X1003 PCIe to NVMe SSD adapter, and PineBerry Pi’s HatDrive, so feel free to check those out if interested.
