government to rebalance power with enforcement resources and by prioritizing the procurement of services based on open source code and our sister organisations are sending similar letters to their own governments in 12 countries they re also sending a second letter to the european commission with 29 civil society organisations including the eff and amnesty international warning about the risks of deregulation and calling for reducing dependency on big tech thanks to slashdot reader deanonymizedcoward for sharing the news 180844210 story raspberry pi stock rises over its possible use with openclaw s ai agents reuters com 46 posted by editordavid on sunday february 22 2026 10 34pm from the feeling board dept this week raspberry pi saw its stock price surge more than 60 above its early february low before giving up some gains at the end of the week reuters notes the rise started when ceo eben upton bought 13 224 pounds worth of shares but there could be another reason the rally in the roughly 800 million company has materialised alongside social media buzz that demand for its single board computers could pick up as people buy them to run ai agents such as openclaw the register explains the catalyst appears to have been the sudden realization by one x user aleabitoreddit that the agentic ai hand grenade known as openclaw could drive demand for raspberry pis the way it had for apple mac minis the viral ai personal assistant formerly known as clawdbot and moltbot has dominated the feeds of ai boosters over the past few weeks for its ability to perform everyday tasks like sending emails managing calendars booking appointments and complaining about their meatbag masters on the purportedly all agent forum known as moltbook in case it needs to be said no one should be running this thing on their personal devices lest the agent accidentally leak your most personal and sensitive secrets to the web in this context a cheap low power device like a raspberry pi makes a certain kind of sense as a safer saner way to poke the robo lobster the register argues raspberry pis aren t as cheap as they used to be thanks in part to the global memory crunch today a top specced raspberry pi 5 with 16gb of memory will set you back more than 200 up from 120 a year ago you know what s cheaper easier and more secure than letting openclaw loose on your local area network a virtual private cloud 180759482 story new raspberry pi 4 model splits ram across dual chips omgubuntu co uk 55 posted by editordavid on monday february 09 2026 08 34am from the easy as pi dept the blog omg ubuntu reports that a new version of the raspberry pi 4 model b has been quietly introduced the key difference it now uses a dual ram configuration the raspberry pi 4 model b pcb 13a adopts a dual ram configuration to improve supply chain flexibility and manufacturing efficiency per a company product change notice document earlier versions of the raspberry pi 4 use a single ram chip on the top of the board the new revision adds a second lpddr4 chip to the underside with a couple of passive components also moved over in moving to a dual chip layout raspberry pi can combine two smaller and marginally cheaper modules to hit the same ram totals amidst fluctuating component costs this change will not impact performance for better or worse the broadcom bcm2711 soc has a 32 bit wide memory interface so the bandwidth stays identical this is not doubling the memory bus it s just a physical split not a logical one plus the new board is fully compatible with existing official accessories hats and add ons all operating systems that support the pi 4 will work but as the memory setup is different a new version of the boot loader will need to be flashed first 177817755 story linux 6 16 adds x86_native_cpu option to optimize your kernel build phoronix com 33 posted by beauhd on tuesday may 27 2025 09 25pm from the new options dept unixbhaskar shares a report from phoronix the x86_native_cpu kconfig build time option has been merged for the linux 6 16 merge window as an easy means of enforcing march native compiler behavior on amd and intel processors to optimize your kernel build for the local cpu architecture family of your system for those wanting to march native your linux kernel build on amd intel x86_64 processors the new config_x86_native_cpu option can be easily enabled for setting that compiler option on your local kernel builds the config_x86_native_cpu option is honored if compiling the linux x86_64 kernel with gcc or llvm clang when using clang 19 or newer due to a compiler bug with the linux kernel on older compiler versions in addition to setting the march native compiler option for the linux kernel c code enabling this new kconfig build option also sets ctarget cpu native for the kernel s rust code too it seems interesting though comments unixbhaskar if the detailed benchmark shows some improvement with the option selected then distros might start to adopt it for their flavor 176798719 story developer loads steam on a 100 arm single board computer interfacinglinux com 24 posted by editordavid on sunday march 23 2025 04 34pm from the ready player two dept there s no shortage of videos showing steam running on expensive arm single board computers with discrete gpus writes slashdot reader vennstone so i thought it would be worthwhile to make a guide for doing it on relatively inexpensive rk3588 powered single board computers using box86 64 and armbian the guides i came across were out of date had a bunch of extra steps thrown in or were outright incorrect up first we need to add the box86 and box64 arm repositories along with dependencies armhf architecture and the mesa graphics driver the guide closes with a multi line script and advice to just close your eyes and run this it s not pretty but it will download the steam debian package extract the needed bits and set up a launch script and then the final step is sudo reboot now at this point all you have to do is open a terminal type steam and tap enter you ll have about five minutes to wait check out the video to see how some of the tested games perform at 720p performance is all over the place but the games i tested typically managed to stay above 30 fps this is better than i was expecting from a four year old soc emulating x86 titles under arm is this a practical way to play your steam games nope not even a little bit for now this is merely an exercise in ludicrous neatness things might get a wee bit better considering collabora is working on upstream support for rk3588 and valve is up to something arm related but ya know valve time you might be tempted to enable steam play for your windows games but don t waste your time i mean you can try but it ain t gonna work 176794037 story raspberry pi announces new tool for customized software images raspberrypi com 10 posted by editordavid on sunday march 23 2025 11 34am from the easy as pi dept for developers and organisations that require a custom software image a flexible and transparent build system is essential according to an announcement friday at raspberry pi com t o support these customers we have created rpi image gen a powerful new tool designed to put you in complete control of your raspberry pi images if you re building an embedded system or an industrial controller you ll need complete control over the software resident on the device and home users may wish to build their own os and have it pre configured exactly the way they want rpi image gen is an alternative to pi gen which is the tool we use to create and deploy the raspberry pi os distribution rpi image gen offers a very granular level of control over file system construction and software image creation b eing able to help reduce software build time provide guaranteed ownership of support and reuse standard methodologies to ensure authenticity of software were all of paramount importance and among the reasons why we created a new home grown build tool for raspberry pi devices there is a small number of examples in the tree which demonstrate different use cases of rpi image gen including the lightweight image slim and webkiosk for booting into browser kiosk mode all create bootable disk images and serve to illustrate how one might use rpi image gen to create a bespoke image for a particular purpose the number of examples will grow over time and we welcome suggestions for new ones visit the rpi image gen github repository to get started there you ll find documentation and examples to guide you through creating custom raspberry pi images some technical details from the announcement similar to pi gen rpi image gen leverages the power reliability and trust of installing a debian linux system for the device however unlike pi gen rpi image gen introduces some new concepts profiles image layouts and config which serve to dictate the build footprint and installation the tool also lets you exclude from your package things that would otherwise be installed as part of the profile the tool s github repository notes that it also allows you output your software bill of materials sbom to list the exact set of packages that were used to create the image and it can even generate a list of cves identified from the sbom to give consumers of your image confidence that your image does not contain any known vulnerabilities 176662865 story adafruit successfully automates arduino development using claude code llm youtube com 22 posted by editordavid on sunday march 09 2025 08 59pm from the tell a prompter dept adafruit industries used large language model llm tool claude code to streamline hardware development writes managing director ptorrone in a demo video limor ladyada fried compares the llm s command line interface to working with the build automation tool cmake or a weird cross between irc and a bbs the first step was converting a pdf of the hardware s datasheet into text and claude code first displays the appropriate bash command while asking do you want to proceed what s nice is that it doesn t make changes even though it has write access to files in the directory eventually from the data sheet it creates things like an accurate register map c headers and even license text and more we are using it to automate parts of the coding and debugging process for an arduino compatible metro mini board with an opt 4048 color sensor writes ptorrone using claude code s shell access we can compile upload and test code in a semi automated workflow allowing the llm to suggest fixes for errors along the way while the ai isn t perfect for high level driver development it s proving very useful for tedious debugging and super fast iterative improvements bringing hardware automation closer to reality in the video fried describes it like this i have a full debugging cycle where i m there i m like driving the car but i have this copilot that s telling me where to go i feel like i m getting closer to having a semi automated way of doing driver development 175669809 story raspberry pi announces new 90 computer in a keyboard plus raspberry pi monitor techcrunch com 92 posted by editordavid on saturday december 14 2024 05 34pm from the pi eyed dept single board computer maker raspberry pi is updating its cute little computer meet keyboard device with better specifications reports techcrunch they call the new 90 raspberry pi 500 not as intimidating because when you look at the raspberry pi 500 you can t see any chipsets or printed circuit board the idea with the raspberry pi 500 is that you can plug in a mouse and display and you re ready to hit the ground running when it comes to specifications the raspberry pi 500 features a 64 bit quad core arm processor the same one as the raspberry pi 5 uses 8gb of ram 2 micro hdmi ports with support for up to two 4k displays 3 traditional usb ports but no usb c besides the power port unfortunately a gigabit ethernet port and a 40 pin expansion header it comes with native wi fi and bluetooth support more importantly this device brings us back raspberry pi s roots raspberry pi computers were originally intended for educational use cases the raspberry pi 500 draws inspiration from the not for profit raspberry pi foundation s roots it s the perfect first computer for school in many ways it s much better than a chromebook or an ipad because it is both cheap and highly customizable encouraging creative thinking the raspberry pi 500 comes with a 32gb sd card preloaded with raspberry pi os a debian based linux distribution in other news raspberry pi has announced another brand new product the raspberry pi monitor it s a 15 6 inch 1080p monitor with a price tag of 100 tom s hardware calls the pi 500 a superb update to the original computer in a keyboard raspberry pi 400 having the ports at the back makes total sense it tidies up the cables and means that we only need one thick edge the rest can be as thin as possible p assive cooling performance is remarkable even when overclocked to 3 ghz i did have to adjust the voltage to keep everything stable but once i found the magic numbers the system was stable and performed remarkably well i t ran buttery smooth and surprisingly cool under stress i d consider this a successful overclock and one that i would happily keep as a permanent addition just like the raspberry pi 400 the pi 500 is there to be a 21st century equivalent to the home computers of the 1980s you plug in to a wedge shaped keyboard hook up to your display and start work but the raspberry pi 500 has much more processing power than the pi 400 and that means it can be a viable desktop computer for those that don t need an rtx 4090 or a power hungry cpu i like the raspberry pi 500 it s a powerful machine in a pleasant package i m old enough to remember the 1980s home computer craze and this just like the pi 400 reminds me of that time but now we have much more power the raspberry pi 500 is the kit that you buy as a gift for someone or as a child s first computer i can see this being used in schools and to an extent in offices around the world 175607757 story thanks to microsoft collaboration ifixit now sells genuine xbox repair parts theverge com 20 posted by editordavid on saturday december 07 2024 12 34pm from
