Raspberry Pi 6 won’t arrive before 2028 – and is skipping an NPU
The Raspberry Pi 6 is unlikely to be released until 2028 and it won’t feature an onboard NPU for AI compute when it arrives – two details shared by the company’s engineers in Reddit last week. Three Raspberry Pi engineers held an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. During it they provided some insight into their plans for the Pi 6 and when we can expect it to hit the market. Based on past launch dates, the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 […]

Проект Pavona развивает дистрибутив открытых аппаратных компонентов для создания чипов
Консорциум GlobalPlatform анонсировал проект Pavona, развивающий открытый дистрибутив аппаратных компонентов, из которых можно компоновать готовые к производству защищённые чипы на ядрах с микроархитектурой RISC-V. Дистрибутив предоставляет модульную библиотеку IP-блоков и эталонные реализации чипов, готовые к сертификации и проверенные на пригодность к производству (tapeout-proven). Pavona можно рассматривать как адаптацию идеи распространения дистрибутивов ПО к аппаратному обеспечению, позволяющую собирать собственные чипы для различных областей применения, от датацентров, AI-ускорителей и специализированных контроллеров до встраиваемых систем с ограниченными ресурсами и устройств интернета вещей (IoT). Наработки проекта распространяются под лицензией Apache 2.0.

ReactOS получил экспериментальную поддержку ARM64
Проект ReactOS, долгие годы разрабатывающий свободную ОС с бинарной совместимостью с приложениями и драйверами Windows, сообщил о первом успешном запуске экспериментальной сборки для ARM64. До сих пор основными целевыми архитектурами ReactOS оставались i586 и AMD64, а теперь система смогла загрузиться на 64-битной ARM-платформе.
Демонстрация была опубликована 26 мая 2026 года. Как уточняет Phoronix, показанная сборка ReactOS ARM64 была запущена в виртуальной машине QEMU, ориентированной на Apple ARM64-процессор. Для работы экспериментальной ARM64-сборки требуется UEFI-совместимая система с включённым GICv2 или GICv3; целевой уровень архитектуры — Armv8-A и новее.
