Following the recent launch of the Arduino Ventuno Q, Toradex has introduced the Aquila IQ8, its first Qualcomm Dragonwing-based System on Module. Built around the same IQ-8275 processor, the module targets industrial edge AI, robotics, computer vision, and other compute-intensive embedded applications.
The Ventuno Q was first shown in March this year and is based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 IQ-8275, which integrates an eight-core Qualcomm Kryo CPU, an Adreno 623 GPU, a Spectra 692 image signal processor, and a Hexagon NPU rated for up to 40 dense TOPS of AI acceleration.
Radxa has recently published additional hardware details for the C201, a 120 × 120mm carrier board designed for its compute module based on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ-9075 platform. The board provides access to the module’s high-speed interfaces through dual 2.5GbE, NVMe storage, camera support, as well as RS-232, RS-485, and CAN bus connectivity.
This version includes important security updates to Firefox.
Arch Linux 2026.09.01 is the first Arch Linux ISO release to ship with Linux kernel 7.2 by default, which should give users a boost when detecting hardware, especially on newer devices, but especially on older ones where previous Arch Linux ISOs failed to detect some of the components.
Coming about two and a half months after Audacity 3.7.8, the Audacity 3.7.9 release is here to add support for the latest and greatest FFmpeg 9 open-source multimedia framework and enable ASIO support for Windows to remember playback and recording device selection per host.
Firefox 156 promises to improve memory and CPU usage when displaying large JPEG images that are scaled down to fit a page, improve dragging of inline images to a new position in a rich-text editor, replacing it with a long line of text instead of moving it, and improve high-sample-rate FLAC audio in MP4 playback.
Highlights of Firefox 155 include support for Happy Eyeballs v3 for faster page loading, the ability to reorder containers in Settings, support for Nintendo Switch Pro and compatible aftermarket controllers on Windows, and support for showing how many trackers it has blocked in the address bar.

This follows months of uncertainty across the open source world, but the bill cleared the Senate this week with unanimous support and now heads to Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed the original act into law last October.
Coming five months after the OpenShot 3.5 series, the OpenShot 4.0 release introduces a new Recording View with a dedicated audio recording dock for screen, webcam, and audio capture, screen/webcam recording support for Linux on Wayland via desktop portals, and live multi-source recording with timeline previews while recording.
