Waveshare has launched the ESP32-P4-NANO board, powered by the ESP32-P4 SoC featuring RISC-V dual-core and single-core processors. This board is tailored for advanced HMI and edge computing applications. Equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5/BLE via the onboard ESP32-C6-MINI module, it ensures efficient wireless connectivity through the SDIO interface.
The HatDrive! POE+ enables both Power over Ethernet and high-speed NVMe storage without compromise. It supports PoE while also accommodating NVMe storage in sizes 2230, 2242, or 2280 through the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe connection, allowing seamless access to both functionalities simultaneously.
This controller features the STM32H743IIK6 microcontroller, a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 core, operating at 480 MHz with double-precision floating-point support and a 16 Kbyte L1 cache for data and instructions. It includes 2MB of Flash and 1MB of RAM, achieving 1027 DMIPS for efficient data handling and processing, and supports DSP instructions for advanced computation.
The Protectli VP3200 Series introduces modular 2-port Vault devices: the VP3210 with an Intel N100 processor and the VP3230 with an Intel i3-N305. Both models support up to 16GB DDR5 RAM, include 32GB eMMC storage, and feature two 2.5GbE Ethernet ports for high-speed applications. Dual M.2 NVMe SSD slots offer up to 2TB of additional storage.
Powered by Linux kernel 6.11, Fedora Linux 41 comes with the latest GNOME 47 desktop environment on the flagship Fedora Workstation edition, which has been stripped of the X11 session to deliver a Wayland-only experience to users. In addition, Fedora Workstation now supports installing the NVIDIA drivers with Secure Boot enabled via GNOME Software.
Firefox 133 promises support for touchpad hold gestures on Linux, allowing users to interrupt kinetic (momentum) scrolling by placing two fingers on the touchpad, the ability to show tabs from other devices in the Tab overview menu, and the enablement of GPU-accelerated Canvas2D by default on Windows.
GNOME 48 will be dubbed “Bengaluru” after the host city of the GNOME Asia Summit 2024 conference, which will take place in Bengaluru, Karnataka, from December 6th to December 8th, 2024, and a release schedule has already been published by the GNOME devs.
Highlights of Mozilla Firefox 132 include support for blocking third-party cookie access with Enhanced Tracking Protection’s Strict mode, support for blocking HTTP-favicons if they aren’t served over HTTPS for improved security, and enablement of WebRender hardware accelerated rendering for most SVG Filter Primitives to improve the performance of certain graphics-heavy content.
The biggest change in the new Raspberry Pi OS release is the enablement of the labwc Wayland compositor by default on all Raspberry Pi models. Previous Raspberry Pi OS versions used the Wayland windowing system by default only for Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 models.
