End-of-life notice for Samsung/Nexell S5P4418 processor
Samsung/Nexell S5P4418 SoC is being phased out, according to a somewhat recent post by EmbSoM/Graperain stating that the SoC was discontinued by the original manufacturer. Most people will likely not care about an old quad-core Cortex-A9 SoC being discontinued, but the S5P4418 was found in several interesting hardware platforms we’ve covered here, mostly from FriendlyELEC, previously FriendlyArm. This includes the FriendlyELEC Core4418, NanoPi2 and Fire2A SBCs, Samsung Artik 530 modules, and several others. Graperain provides more details about the end-of-life notice, notably the key dates for their products: Last Time Buy (LTB) – 2026-03-31 Last Shipment Date – 2026-09-30 This...
Cincoze CV-221C 21.5-inch modular slim Panel PC supports up to Intel Core Ultra 3/5/7 Meteor Lake-PS SoC
Cincoze CV-211C is a family of 21.5-inch modular slim panel PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra 3/5/7 Meteor Lake-PS SoC (P2302 Series), Core i3-1215UE or Core-i5-1245UE Alder Lake processor (P2202 Series), Core i3-8145UE or Core i5-8365UE Whiskey Lake SoC (P2102 Series), or Core i3-6100U or Core i5-6300U Skylake processor (P2002 Series). All are advertised as new models, despite some being powered by Skylake processors released in 2015. They share similar key features such as up to a 21.5-inch TFT panel with 1920×1080 resolution, VGA output, dual Ethernet, three to four USB 3.2 ports, and more. We’ll focus on the Cincoze...
WalnutPi 2B is a Raspberry Pi–style SBC with Allwinner T527 and 2 TOPS NPU
The WalnutPi 2B is a compact single-board computer built around Allwinner’s T527 processor, combining an octa-core Cortex-A55 CPU with a modest 2 TOPS NPU in a Raspberry Pi–like form factor. The design focuses on low-cost Linux development, edge experimentation, and light AI workloads. The WalnutPi 2B is based on the Allwinner T527, an octa-core 64-bit […]

AOMedia AV2 video codec draft specification release, and a quick try at the reference implementation
After 5 years of work and over 2700 commits against the reference software, the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) has recently released the AV2 specification. This next-generation open video codec provides up to 40% bandwidth reduction over AV1 at equivalent quality. The document entitled “AV2 Bitstream & Decoding Process Specification” specifies the Alliance for Open Media Video 2 (AV2) bitstream syntax, semantics, parsing process, and decoding process. AV2 builds upon the foundation of AV1 and has been engineered to provide higher compression efficiency and high-quality video delivery at lower bitrates. The Alliance for Open Media also highlights that it provides...
TrustTunnel is an open-source, high-performance VPN protocol that’s harder to detect and block
Adguard VPN is a commercial VPN solution, but the company has decided to open-source the VPN protocol and named it TrustTunnel. It’s described as a modern, secure, mobile-optimized VPN protocol. Since there are plenty of VPN protocols, including WireGuard and OpenVPN, it felt redundant at first. But AdGuard explains that those are easy to detect and block at the network level, and methods to conceal VPN traffic, such as wrapping VPN data in a TCP connection, often reduce speed. TrustTunnel relies on a different method and blends in with regular HTTPS traffic through TLS-based encryption, and HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 transport....
PicoIDE – An open-source hardware IDE/ATAPI drive emulator for vintage computers (Crowdfunding)
PicoIDE is an open-source hardware IDE/ATAPI drive emulator based on a Raspberry Pi RP2350 board and designed to replace hard drives and CD-ROM drives in vintage computers with microSD card storage. Users don’t need to burn optical discs or deal with old IDE hard drives with bad blocks, and instead, they can simply put their disk images on a microSD card and swap between them as needed. Two versions are offered, namely the PicoIDE Base featuring full IDE/ATAPI emulation in a standard 3.5-inch enclosure with a microSD card slot, and CD audio output, and the PicoIDE Deluxe, adding an ESP32-C3-based...
