LattePanda Mu Intel N100 SoM and carrier board review – Part 2: Ubuntu 24.04

LattePandu Mu Review Ubuntu 24.04

We’ve already checked out the hardware for LattePanda Mu and tested it on Windows 11 using both the Lite Carrier Board and Full-Function Evaluation in the first part of the review. We’ve now had time to test the LattePanda Mu Intel N100 board with Ubuntu 24.04 to see how it performs in Linux with the following tests:

Initial system information
Benchmarks for CPU, disks, peripherals, and networking (GbE and WiFi)
Web and multimedia usage
Power consumption

Since LattePanda Mu is an x86 machine, we can create a boot disk from the Ubuntu 24.04 ISO as we would on a PC.

Forlinx FET3576-C Rockchip RK3576 SoM powers feature-rich OK3576-C board for AIoT applications

Forlinx FET3576 C SoM and Carrier Board

Forlinx FET3576-C SoM is a new System-on-Module built around the Rockchip RK3576 SoC which features four Arm Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53 cores made from a 22nm lithography process. The SoM is available with 2GB or 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM option and can be equipped with up to 32GB of eMMC storage. Additionally, it has 6 TOPS NPU power and supports standard peripherals like GbE Ethernet, Wifi, Bluetooth, LVDS, MIPI DSI, and much more. All these features make this device useful for IoT, edge computing, digital signage, and many other applications. The new FET3576-C SoM and its OK3576-C development board look very similar to the Forlinx FET3562J-C SoM and related board we covered earlier this month. But the main difference between the two is that the new one is built with the RK3576 SoC whereas the old one is built around the Rockchip RK3562(J) SoC. Previously we also saw that the […]

Linux 6.10 Release – Notable changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linux 6.10 Release Changelog

Linux Torvalds has announced the release of Linux 6.10 on LKML: So the final week was perhaps not quote as quiet as the preceding ones, which I don’t love – but it also wasn’t noisy enough to warrant an extra rc. And much of the noise this last week was bcachefs again (with netfs a close second), so it was all pretty compartmentalized. In fact, about a third of the patch for the last week was filesystem-related (there were also some btrfs latency fixes and other noise), which is unusual, but none of it looks particularly scary. Another third was drivers, and the rest is “random”. Anyway, this obviously means that the merge window for 6.11 opens up tomorrow. Let’s see how that goes, with much of Europe probably making ready for summer vacation. And the shortlog below is – as always – just the last week, not some kind […]

conga-SMX95 NXP i.MX9596 SoM M.2 1216 WiFi 6 module

We had already written about NXP i.MX 95 SMARC 2.1 system-on-modules from ADLINK, iWave Systems, Avnet, and Advantech, but congatec has now launched its own with the conga-SMX95 featuring the NXP i.MX 9596 hexa-core Arm Cortex-A55 AI processor and up to 16GB LPDDR5 memory. The conga-SMX95 also comes with up to 256GB flash, is available on both commercial and industrial temperature grade variants, and exposes most of the same interfaces as competing products. What might be different is that the conga-SMX95 is offered with an optional M.2 1216 WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless module. We’ve seen M.2 1216 wireless modules before, and they don’t use any M.2 socket but are LGA packages that need to be soldered to the target board/module. conga-SMX95 specifications: SoC – NXP i.MX 9596 CPU Up to 6x Arm Cortex-A55 application cores clocked at 1.8 GHz (industrial) or 2.0 GHz (commercial) with 32K I-cache and […]
