CNX Software ☛ Pico2-Ice development board combines Raspberry Pi RP2350B with Lattice iCE40UP5K FPGA
tinyVision.ai has recently released the second-generation ot its open-source hardware pico-ice FPGA development board, upgrading the Raspberry Pi RP2040 to the newer RP2350B along with dedicated user LEDs and buttons for both the MCU and the FPGA. The Pico2-Ice also exposes the RP2350B’s HSTX interface through a 22-pin connector, while keeping the same Lattice iCE40UP5K FPGA. The onboard iCE40UP5K FPGA features 5.3k LUTs, 1 MB SPRAM, and 120 KB DPRAM, along with 4MB SPI flash and 8MB low-power PSRAM.

CNX Software ☛ Radxa Cubie A7A is a powerful SBC based on Allwinner A733 Cortex-A76/A55 Hey Hi (AI) SoC with up to 16GB RAM
Radxa Cubie A7A is a single board computer (SBC) powered by an Allwinner A733 octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 SoC with a 3 TOPS Hey Hi (AI) accelerator and up to 16GB LPDDR5 memory. Radxa came back to the Allwinner SoC family after the silicon vendor committed to improving open-source support, starting with the Radxa Cubie A5E SBC powered by an Allwinner A527/T527 SoC. But this was only the start, and we were promised a more powerful Allwinner A733 SBC before moving to the Allwinner A838 down the road.

Erich Eickmeyer: Raspberry Pi as a Networked Audio Interface
I haven’t posted for quite some time, and a lot has happened. For instance, my wife revived Edubuntu and my work with Ubuntu Studio now spans over 7 years.
Recently, I became the proud owner of a Behringer X-Air XR18. This became the key to opening a new business, which I’ll announce at a later date. I’m working on acquiring more equipment to make this work.
