The Armbian community has just released the Armbian Imager 2.0 GUI program to easily flash pre-built Armbian-built Ubuntu or Debian images for over 338 boards from 64 SBC vendors. The new version features a slick user interface rewritten from scratch and implements custom user profiles in the settings with username and password, SSH key, Wi-Fi network credentials and country code, timezone,…
The Radxa Dragon Q5E is an upcoming single-board computer (SBC) that packs dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, HDMI output, a 40-pin GPIO header, and USB Type-C and Type-A ports onto a really tiny package. And like other members of the Radxa Dragon lineup, this new SBC is powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing processor. In this case it’s […]

Radxa has announced two upcoming NAS systems, the DragonStation and DragonBay. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon platform and shipping with Fygo OS pre-installed, the systems combine high-speed storage, multi-gigabit networking, media management, and private cloud functionality in aluminum enclosures. While Radxa has not disclosed the specific Snapdragon processor used, both products are designed…
Single-board computer maker Radxa has announced plans to introduce two NAS (network attached storage) systems powered by Qualcomm processors. The upcoming Radxa DragonStation is an all-flash solution with support for up to six NVMe SSDs and dual 10 GbE LAN ports, while the DragonBay is a more traditional design, with support for up to four hard drives […]

Radxa has introduced the Dragon Q8B, a compact single-board computer built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform. The board combines an 8-core processor, up to 29 TOPS of AI performance, dual 2.5GbE networking, and multiple PCIe expansion options in a 100 × 75 mm form factor for edge computing, robotics, industrial automation, […]
Last year Rada introduced a credit card-sized computer called the Dragon Q6A that looks like a Raspberry Pi, but which features a Qualcomm DragonWing QCS6490 processor and a PCIe 3.0 x2 connector. Now the company has launched a new model that’s a little larger, but which also brings a higher-performance processor and more I/O capabilities. […]

Radxa started its partnership with Qualcomm last with the Dragon Q6A SBC, but it turns out it was just the start, and the company showcased more Qualcomm SBCs and NAS systems at a Radxa + Qualcomm developer day on May 30, 2026. The Radxa Q8B SBC will be based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 octa-core SoC, the Q5E SBC on a Dragonwing QCS6690 octa-core Kryo SoC, and the company also teased…
Looking back, 2024 feels like a golden year for single board computers, as the increasing price of RAM (and storage and other components) since late 2025 due to the AI demand has made those much less attractive, price/performance ratio-wise. We’ve already documented Raspberry Pi SBC price hikes, and after several increases, the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB went from $120 to $305, or a 154% change in…
The Banana Pi BPI-SM10 is a tiny computer with SpacemiT K3 RISC-V processors, support for up to 32GB of LPDDR5-RAM, and an emphasis on AI thanks to the chip’s support for up to 60 TOPS of AI performance. Banana Pi hasn’t announced how much its model will cost yet, but the compute module that powers […]

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.0 on LKML: The last week of the release continued the same “lots of small fixes” trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I’ve tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it’s a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the “new normal” at least for a while. Only time will tell. Anyway, this…
The Radxa Taco is a carrier board for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module that gives you ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports plus a microSD card reader and M.2 2280 and M.2 2230 slots. But this board also has SATA connectors that let your compute module to power a network-attached storage system with up to five hard […]

Radxa has updated its Taco carrier board with a new revision designed around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, targeting storage-heavy and network-oriented applications. The platform integrates multiple SATA interfaces, dual Ethernet ports, and PCIe expansion in a compact form factor. The V1.61 revision transitions the design to support the Raspberry Pi CM5 exclusively, replacing […]
OpenClaw was just introduced a few months ago, but we’ve already seen several low-footprint implementations, and some companies even ship mini PCs preloaded with OpenClaw. But today, I was just informed that CIX had gone further, and introduced the ClawCore Armv9.2 CPU family specifically designed/optimized for OpenClaw. The family will be comprised of three main SKUs: ClawCore-P (勁螯芯 “Powerful…
Radxa AICore DX-M1M is a compact, low-power M.2 edge AI acceleration module built around the DeepX DX-M1M neural processing unit (NPU) and delivers up to 25 TOPS (INT8) of AI performance while consuming only 3W of power. Designed for industrial robot arms, autonomous mobile robots (ARM), edge servers, drones, and AIoT devices, the module delivers high-performance AI and ML capabilities without…
Radxa, in collaboration with DEEPX, has introduced the AICore DX-M1M, a compact AI acceleration module designed for edge inference workloads. The module uses the DeepX DX-M1M NPU and integrates through an M.2 interface for use in embedded and single-board computer platforms. The AICore DX-M1M follows Radxa’s earlier AICore DX-M1 module introduced in late 2025, which […]
Radxa has introduced the Cubie A7S, a 51 x 51 mm single board computer built around the Allwinner A733. The compact board combines Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 CPU cores with LPDDR5 memory, PCIe 3.0 expansion, and an integrated NPU rated at 3 TOPS, targeting edge AI, vision, and embedded multimedia applications. The Allwinner A733 features a […]
Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 6.19 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML): No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected – just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today watching the latest batch of televised commercials. The betting man would expect them all to be AI-generated, but maybe some enterprising company decides to buck the trend?…
The Radxa Cubie A7S is a single board computer with an Allwinner A733 processor, LPDDR5 memory, and a versatile set of ports and connectors that includes USB Type-C and Type-A, Gigabit Ethernet, and even a PCIe 3.0 interface.
