.@AMD Versal Premium Gen 2 MoP FPGA SoC gets up to 32GB on-chip LPDDR5 memory. cnx-software.com/2026/07/06/… The three new adaptive SoCs (2VP3422, 2VP3522, and 2VP3622) still feature a dual-core Cortex-A72 dual-core Cortex-R5F CPU subsystem and high-end FPGA fabric, but they also integrate up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory directly inside the package. This removes the need for external high-speed memory on the board and reduces PCB area by up to 60%. This also eliminates high-speed memory routing on the carrier board and enables up to 288 GB/s memory bandwidth.

Review of @sonoff_global NSPanel Pro Gen2 smart home control panel with eWelink and Home Assistant cnx-software.com/2026/07/02/… We connected one of the relays of the NSPanel Pro Gen2 to a ceiling LED light, tested Zigbee through a SONOFF AirGuard TH (SNZB-02DR2) temperature and humidity sensor, WiFi through a SONOFF AirGuard PM2.5/PM10 air quality sensor, connected it to a security camera through an RTSP stream, used the Voice Call function in the eWeLink app for two-way voice communication with a smartphone, and integrated it with Home Assistant to control the SONOFF MINI DUO-L (MINI-ZB2GS-L) Zigbee 3.0 switch. Everything worked as expected, and it's a neat little Smart Home control to use on a desk or mount in an 86-type wall opening. Despite having a microphone and speaker, it can't function as a full smart speaker, but integrates with products like Google Home or Amazon Alexa.

Game Boy emulator with 60 FPS rendering on an ESP32-S3 E Ink devkit. cnx-software.com/2026/07/02/… ePaper displays are often associated with slow refresh rates and are less than ideal for gaming, but the PaperBoy project proved that wrong, at least on the @M5Stack PaperS3 4.7-inch devkit. With various optimizations, the open-source project can render games at high frame rates on the E Ink touchscreen display and output audio through the built-in buzzer using square waves.
