Open-source flight controller pairs i.MX RT1176 with Pixhawk PAB compatibility

ARK Electronics recently showcased the ARKV6X-RT, an NDAA-compliant flight controller based on the FMUV6X-RT and Pixhawk Autopilot Bus open standards. The module uses an NXP i.MX RT1176 microcontroller and includes three synchronized IMUs, onboard FRAM, a secure element and PX4 Autopilot support. For context, the i.MX RT1176 integrates a 1GHz Arm Cortex-M7 core and a […]

Approaching A 10 Second Linux Kernel Build

The coffee window is closing. Going back many years with the time it’s taken to compile the Linux kernel has been a well known opportunity for a coffee break or even eating a meal during the lengthy Linux kernel build process. Even when the Linux kernel was much smaller than it is today, with the hardware at the time it would often be a very time consuming process… Thus incredible to think that we are now on the horizon of a ten second clean, default kernel build on Linux x86_64.

[$] How KDE got funding to add enterprise features

The Sovereign Tech Agency (STA) is
investing nearly €1.3 million
in KDE through 2027. At Akademy 2026
in Graz, Austria, Nate Graham and Kevin Ottens, two of the contributors who
helped bring in the investment, explained how the funding was secured, provided
tips on how projects should approach organizations like STA, and talked about
how that money will be improving KDE for everyone. In addition to keeping the
community informed about the work, the pair hoped to pass on what they have learned
to encourage others to help raise funds for development as well.
