Since this is a portable battery-powered device, rather than first pushing to open-source the DDR training blob, which is non-resident in memory after it's done it's job and a fairly small binary (less chance for hiding bugs), I&#

An NPU with no driver support in the main Linux kernel, only in a vendor-provided fork containing dubious-quality drivers: https://forum.radxa.com/t/lack-of-concern-for-security-in-bs... https://blog.tomeuvi

At least as of last week, people (mainly at Collabora) are working on open-source support for Mali “Valhall” including the GPU in Orange Pi 5. It’s just sufficiently different from previous generations to need a new driver, and taking a whi

This is higher-level than the Hypervisor framework; this Virtualization framework providers an entire VM with virtio peripherals including a display. https://github.com/lima-vm/lima can use Virtualization framework for

The actual SoCs used on each type of core module are somewhat well hidden (no mention on the main website as far as I can see) but can be found through a bit of research: RPI-CM4 Lite: Broadcom BCM2711 A-06: Rockchip RK3399 A-04: Allwinner

The boot ROM in the RK3399 in the PinePhone Pro has a hardcoded boot order, and doesn't use the special boot partition of the eMMC - it only looks for a bootloader on the data partition at a fixed sector (64).

I assume by "new API" for VMs on macOS you mean Hypervisor.framework, which is supported by qemu 4.0.0 and xhyve, both open-source. I wrote a blog article about using qemu with Hypervisor.framework to install Debian in a VM here:

Generally the SoCs used will have a separate video encoder IP-block that's not part of the Mali GPU. For example the "Cedar" video engine on Allwinner SoCs, Rockchip's VPU, Samsung's Multi-Function Codec, Qualcomm&#

Instead of hiring enough humans to review the content they make money from, Google's approach to catching this stuff seems to be doing a global search for videos with "CP" in related text and auto-banning the channels: https

Not totally certain, but I believe it'd be used if a userspace program used the Linux Kernel Crypto API, using a socket of type AF_ALG. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.11/crypto/userspace-if.ht...
