It also features two gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. Beelink provided a review sample of the EQi13 Pro mini PC powered by an Intel Core i5-13500H processor and equipped...
Rockchip RV1126B-P quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC shows up in AI Vision system-on-module
Boardcon MINI1126B-P is a system-on-module (SoM) powered by a Rockchip RV1126B-P 64-bit Arm SoC with a 3 TOPS NPU and a 4K H.264/H.265 encoder and decoder designed for AI vision applications. Rockchip RV1126 quad-core Arm Cortex-A7 camera SoC with a 2 TOPS AI accelerator has been around since 2021, but the RV1126B(-P) is a new chip with four Cortex-A53 cores and a 3 TOPS NPU. The MINI1126B-P SoM is one of the first hardware platforms with the new SoC, and an update to the company’s MINI1126 with the RV1126 SoC, so let’s have a closer look. Rockchip RV1126B-P AI camera...
BML Designing RISC-V SoCs with FPGAs : Part-RISC-V Assembly Language
2025.09.01 : I’m Kevin Hubbard, Electrical Engineer. I’ve spent the majority of my 30+ year career designing digital logic circuits in ASICs and FPGAs. It’s been an amazing journey that I hope others will pursue. I’m giving back now in writing this “BML Designing RISC-V SoCs with FPGAs” series which starts here.
This chapter explains RISC-V assembly language. With Bare-Metal SoC development, a minimal amount of assembly language knowledge is required.
CPUs, for the most part, don’t execute software programming languages like C or even assembly language. CPUs execute machine code, the lowest-level form of software instructions—a sequence of binary or hexadecimal...
BML Designing RISC-V SoCs with FPGAs : Part-GNU Cross-Compiler
2025.08.31 : I’m Kevin Hubbard, Electrical Engineer. I’ve spent the majority of my 30+ year career designing digital logic circuits in ASICs and FPGAs. It’s been an amazing journey that I hope others will pursue. I’m giving back now in writing this “BML Designing RISC-V SoCs with FPGAs” series which starts here.
This chapter explains installing and using the GNU GCC Cross-Compiler tool-chain for compile bare-metal C code into RISC-V machine code.
At the beginning of time, CPUs were programmed in assembly language. Assembly is fine for small projects, and was easy enough to learn back in the 8-bit 6502 and Z-80...

XMS Support Now Available for the Lo‑tech 2MB EMS Board
New for the Lo-tech 2 MB EMS board: thanks to EXMS86 by Mateusz Viste, XT-class machines can now run XMS software — and even gain up to 64 KB of UMB from the EMS page frame.
«Сезам». Самый антуражный домофон тысячелетия
Приветствую всех!
Этот аппарат без всякого сомнения можно назвать самым суровым домофоном из когда-либо выпускавшихся. Таких почти не осталось и больше не будут выпускать уже никогда. Сложно найти атрибут аутентичнее для создания атмосферы индустриальной эпохи или ещё чего-то подобного.
Это тот самый домофон «Сезам», он же «сезам с тремя ручками», он же «первый советский домофон». Удивительно, но на просторах интернета нет практически никакой информации о том, что это за аппарат, где он выпускался, как подключается и как устроен. Всё это мы и попытаемся выяснить в данной статье.

How to install TrueNAS on a Raspberry Pi
Now that Joel0 in the TrueNAS community has created a fork of TrueNAS that runs on Arm, I thought I'd give it a spin—on a Raspberry Pi.
I currently run an Ampere Arm server in my rack with Linux and ZFS as my primary storage server, and a Raspberry Pi with four SATA SSDs and ZFS as backup replica in my studio. My configuration for these Arm NASes is up on GitHub.
Jeff Geerling August 28, 2025Once upon a time, there was Hackafe in Plovdiv — a place to share ideas and learn new things about the IT industry
Many workshops and learning courses were organized by enthusiasts who generously shared their knowledge free of charge. It was a great time. The events were hosted at Programista company, right in the center of Plovdiv — a very convenient location. Later, the company moved, and Hackafe no longer had a place to gather. The enthusiasm […]
