Recently, three of the lead Raspberry Pi engineers hosted an AMA on the r/engineering subreddit. And honestly? There was some good stuff. But also… some things that made me scratch my head. Let me break it down – and throw in a few thoughts on what’s happening on the other side of the SBC world. … Read more
So, Rockchip dropped some serious specs last year for their upcoming flagship RK3688 Chip – 12 cores, 32 TOPS, LPDDR6 support. But here’s the thing, the chip isn’t out yet! And even when it is, getting your hands on an actual RK3688 SBC will take a few more months. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t … Read more
When I first looked into the Rockchip RV1126B, I honestly thought it was just another low-power AI chip for cheap cameras. But after digging into the specs and checking where it actually gets used, it became pretty clear why this processor is still everywhere in 2026. The RV1126B is not trying to compete with heavy … Read more
If you were around the Android TV box, low-cost tablet, or embedded hardware scene in the mid-2010s, chances are you’ve already used a device powered by the Rockchip RK312X series without even realizing it. It never had the hype of the RK3288, and obviously nobody compared it to flagship silicon, but that was never the … Read more
Why this board is slightly confusing in PlatformIO If you just plug in a Freenove ESP32-S3 breakout board and open PlatformIO, you’ll notice something odd – the exact board name may not always show up in the list. That’s because under the hood, most Freenove boards are not “unique platforms.” They are based on the … Read more
The rapid rise of intelligent robotics has moved from showcase stages into real-world industries. From flexible motion control to responsive human interaction, next-generation robots are no longer experimental – they are becoming practical tools across multiple sectors. Behind this surge lies a critical foundation: powerful and efficient hardware platforms. Many leading robotics companies have adopted … Read more
How Edge AI Chips Power Real-Time Analytics Edge AI for real-time analytics means a device can process data on its own, right where the data appears. It does not need to send everything to the cloud and wait for a response. This matters when time is important. A camera that detects a person, a robot … Read more
If you open a modern laptop or mini PC, you will often find a small slot called M.2. It was first used for storage drives, but now something new is happening. People are putting AI chips into that same slot. This is where the idea of an m.2 ai accelerator comes from. It is a … Read more
Artificial intelligence is no longer limited to data centers. Today, it’s quickly making its way to edge devices like embedded systems, smart cameras, robotics, and industrial automation. What Is an AI M.2 Module? Why AI M.2 Modules Are Gaining Popularity DEEPX DX-M1M and DEEPX DX-M1 Overview Comparison Table: DX-M1M vs DX-M1 How AI M.2 Modules … Read more
