Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) and Raspberry Pi Ltd have teamed up to introduce a new product for AI enthusiasts. The Raspberry Pi AI Camera, compatible with all Raspberry Pi single-board computers, is designed to streamline the development of AI solutions by processing visual data directly at the edge. The AI Camera is available today for $70.

This collaboration is a result of SSS’s minority investment in Raspberry Pi Ltd back in April 2023. Since then, the companies have worked together to create an edge AI platform tailored to Raspberry Pi’s developer community. The key feature of the AI Camera is its use of SSS’s IMX500 intelligent vision sensor. This innovative sensor allows AI processing to happen directly on the chip, eliminating the need for additional hardware like GPUs or accelerators, which are traditionally required for handling large-scale visual data.

If you have been thinking of buying an ARM-based Raspberry Pi, you may want to reconsider. You see, a new alternative SoC computer, the Radxa X4, is powered by the Intel N100 processor, part of the Alder Lake-N series. That processor will allow you to run full Windows 11 as well as Linux-based operating systems.

This board offers quad-core processing with speeds up to 3.4 GHz and is supported by Intel’s UHD Graphics. This device is equipped with a variety of features tailored to meet the needs of a diverse user base. Memory options range from 4GB to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and additional onboard eMMC storage options are available.

Stremio OS is now available for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. This lightweight operating system is designed to run the Stremio media center application, which aggregates streaming content from various services into a user-friendly interface.

Unlike Kodi, none of Stremio's addons are installed on your computer so there's no danger of introducing rogue code (Stremio itself is open source). It will recommend content that you might be interested in and tell you if it’s free and where you can find it. It can play HTTP links, as well as magnet links and torrent files (drag and drop).

The AlmaLinux OS Foundation, a nonprofit managing the community-owned open-source CentOS alternative AlmaLinux OS, has announced support for the Raspberry Pi 5. This has been a while coming as the latest version of the Pi, released in October 2023, has been growing in popularity within the AlmaLinux community.

Koichiro Iwao, an engineer at Cybertrust Japan, played a major role in bringing AlmaLinux Raspberry Pi 5 support to fruition. "In Japan, the Raspberry Pi community is vibrant," he said. "The hardware improvements of the Raspberry Pi 5 over the Raspberry Pi 4 and the community's increasing demand for this support motivated my commitment to building Raspberry Pi 5 support for AlmaLinux OS."

It was surely only a matter of time before AI made its way to the Raspberry Pi and today sees the launch of the  Raspberry Pi AI Kit. Developed in close collaboration with Hailo, it provides a way of seamlessly integrating local, high-performance, power-efficient inferencing into a number of applications.

The Raspberry Pi AI Kit comprises the M.2 HAT+ preassembled with a Hailo-8L AI accelerator module. Installed on a Raspberry Pi 5, the AI Kit allows users to build AI vision applications, running in real time, with low latency and low power requirements.

Today, Raspberry Pi announced the beta release of Raspberry Pi Connect, a new service designed to facilitate remote access to Raspberry Pi devices through a web browser. This service is intended to provide a simpler alternative to traditional methods such as VNC or the X protocol, especially following the transition to Wayland in the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, which does not support the classic X remote desktop.

To use Raspberry Pi Connect, the device must be running a 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on a Raspberry Pi 5, 4, or 400. Users can install the service by updating their system, installing the rpi-connect package, and rebooting. After installation, a new icon appears in the system tray. By clicking this icon and signing in, users can initiate remote access, with additional documentation available for navigating the beta's limitations.

In a significant development for Raspberry Pi users, the much-anticipated MX Linux 23.1 Raspberry Pi OS Respin has been officially released. This new version, labeled MX-23.1_rpi_respin, seamlessly blends the robust MX Tools and the extensive MX repositories from the mainline releases into a compact system image, tailored for the latest Raspberry Pi models.

The MX-23.1_rpi_respin is tested and optimized for Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 400, and the newly released Pi 5, ensuring compatibility and performance across these popular models. To get started, users will require a minimum of a 16GB memory card or a USB device, making it a highly accessible upgrade.

Today is a special day for the Linux community as Ubuntu 23.10 (code-named "Mantic Minotaur") is finally released. Yes, folks, following a fairly short beta testing period, the Debian-based operating system can be downloaded now.

Notably, Ubuntu 23.10 is compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi 5 and SiFive HiFive Pro P550 from the get go. It is quite impressive to have support for the very new Raspberry Pi 5 on day one.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the Raspberry Pi 4 four years ago now. It’s been quite the wait, but a new, much faster follow up is finally here.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is described as the "everything computer" and will run at 2-3x the speed of the previous generation. It’s built on silicon designed in‑house "for the best possible performance".

Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, and he's been doing a terrible job of running things. He made the verification status confusing and nonsensical, but worst of all, he quickly fired thousands of workers. And so, many Twitter users have been abandoning the platform and switching to alternatives. You can find yours truly on Mastodon, for instance.

The folks over at Raspberry Pi are not abandoning Twitter (yet), but they are very alarmed by Musk's erratic behavior. As a result, they have created an account on the Mastodon social network in case they do decide to jump ship. Actually, they took things a step further and have begun running their own Mastodon server (also known as an "instance") at raspberrypi.social.

A year ago, the Raspberry Pi Foundation unveiled the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 microcontroller designed for physical computing projects. Easily programmed using MicroPython, it was designed for tasks like controlling lights, buttons, sensors, motors, and even other microcontrollers.

Today, after having sold nearly two million Pico boards, the Foundation announces the Raspberry Pi Pico W which adds 802.11n wireless networking to the platform.

New research shows that hackers are regularly gaining access to servers with the same commonly used -- often default -- passwords.

The data from Bulletproof also reveals that default Raspberry Pi usernames and logins feature prominently on the list of top default credentials used by hackers.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has been working on a 64-bit build of its Raspberry Pi OS for a while now, and after a successful beta trial it's finally ready to make it available to anyone with a compatible Pi.

It has been possible to run a 64-bit build of the OS since Raspberry Pi 3 arrived in 2016, but the Foundation has stuck with the 32-bit platform in order to "maximise compatibility between devices and to avoid customer confusion".
