Last year, we saw Morse Micro introduce the MM8108 Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) SoC with up to 43.33 Mbps throughput, along with an MM8108-RD09 USB dongle reference design, for which we had virtually no details at the time. Morse Micro has now released USB-A and USB-C Wi-Fi HaLow adapters based on that reference design. The
The LattePanda Mu Ultra is an x86 Compute Module powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V or Ultra 7 256V Lunar Lake processor and equipped with 16GB of DDR5 memory. Offered in the same compact 69.6 × 60mm form factor as the earlier LattePanda Mu Alder Lake-N system-on-module (N100 or Core i3-N305), it delivers much highe
Finished your PCB layout in KiCad? You don’t necessarily need to leave the PCB Editor, export a separate set of manufacturing files, and manually upload them to a PCB manufacturer. AIVON’s KiCad Plugin creates a direct path from your PCB design to an online PCB quote. AIVON has integrated an official KiCad plugin that
JetKVM Mini is a smaller, lower-cost version of the popular JetKVM KVM over IP solution. The new model features a small information display, offers Ethernet or WiFi connectivity, and supports 1080p video capture. The main under-the-hood change is that they ditched Linux on a Rockchip RV1106G3 SoC and now rely on an ESP
Renesas has expanded its RZ/G Series with the RZ/G3L and RZ/G3SE, two new 64-bit MPUs for HMI and IoT edge systems. Both devices integrate up to four Arm Cortex-A55 application cores clocked at up to 1.2 GHz and a 200 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 real-time coprocessor. The two chips are pin-to-pin compatible but target different
Arduino UNO Media Carrier board adds three audio jacks, a MIPI DSI display connector, two MIPI CSI camera connectors, and a few RGB LEDs to the Arduino UNO Q and Arduino VENTUNO Q SBCs. Both Arduino “Q” boards already expose MIPI CSI/DSI and audio interfaces, but only through the JMEDIA and JMISC 60-pin headers, which
Waveshare ESP32-C5 Pico board brings the ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread) SoC to the Raspberry Pi Pico form factor. The board features an ESP32-C5-MINI-1 Series module with PCB or external antenna, two 20-pin GPIO headers, a USB-C port for power and programming, Reset and Boot butto
CamThink NeoEyes NE302 is a tiny WiFi 6 Edge AI camera based on an STM32N6 Arm Cortex-M55 MCU with Neural-ART NPU which the company says is “especially suitable for developers and makers”. I initially thought about it as a smaller version of the CamThink NeoEyes NE301 based on the same STM32N6 MCU and 4MP OS04C10 camer
Alif Semiconductor’s Ensemble E1C (SK-E1C) and Balletto B1 (SK-B1) StartKits are low-cost development boards built around the company’s Cortex-M55 + Ethos-U55 microcontrollers. The Balletto B1 adds BLE 5.3 and 802.15.4 wireless connectivity, while the Ensemble E1C does not have built-in wireless connectivity. Both Star
After launching the SX1262-based M5Stamp C6LoRa tiny module, M5Stack has launched two SX1262-based LoRa add-ons for the 868–923 MHz band: the tiny Stamp LoRa-1262 SMD module for custom PCBs, and the stackable Module13.2 LoRa-1262 module for the M5Stack Core series. The Stamp LoRa-1262 supports LoRa, FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMS
Amlogic has unveiled the A123X quad-core and C305X2 dual-core Arm Cortex-A320 SoCs for industrial and battery-powered Edge AI and IoT applications such as robots, dashcams, IP cameras, video conferencing equipment, and so on. The Arm Cortex-A320 low-power Armv9 CPU core was introduced in February 2025, and Amlogic is t
The FREE-WILi 2 (Founder Edition) is an open-hardware, portable hacking multitool and lab designed for hardware hackers, pentesters, and embedded system developers. Designed as an “open electronics multitool,” it combines a range of chips and modules into a handheld device, including two Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCUs, an ES
