From photon to actuation: How physical AI is redefining embedded compute - Arm Newsroom

Arm and STMicroelectronics push embedded AI to physical systems, aiming for safe, reliable, and efficient intelligence at the edge. They outline three computing planes—perception, interaction, and actuation—augmented by cloud services, with safety as a core requirement, and preview new Cortex-M based STM32A microcontrollers for autonomous, fault-tolerant operation.

Arduino UNO Q: un agente AI locale che comanda l'hardware

The article documents a benchmark of local AI agents on an Arduino UNO Q, testing multiple language models against a simulated room with a fan. It covers five test phases, uses simulated tools, and outputs Markdown-ready results, authored by Renzo Mischianti with associated links.

I Think We Should See Other SBCs | Hackaday

The article discusses growing SBC shortages in 2026, suggests using alternatives like Orange Pi or Radxa, and explains how to pick boards by checking software support (Armbian/DietPi) and interface availability, with practical tips on GPIO, DeviceTree, and compatibility for a palmtop project.

GitHub - olkham/jetson-docker-flash · GitHub

A Docker-based tool to flash NVIDIA Jetson boards from Linux, using NVIDIA’s images without a matching local Ubuntu/SDK Manager. It documents supported devices, prerequisites, and a step-by-step process (detect, download, prepare, flash) with recovery-mode procedures and cautions that flashing erases board storage.

Olimex introduces two open-source level shifters | heise online

Translated title. Original: Olimex stellt zwei Open-Source-Pegelwandler vor | heise online

Olimex introduces two open-source level shifters, BB-LVL-SHIFT and UEXT-LVL-SHIFT, enabling safe bidirectional voltage translation between devices with 1.8–5.5 V ranges and up to 1 Mbit/s, with higher SPI/UART rates on the UEXT variant. Documentation and KiCad files are available on GitHub, with affordable pricing for both modules.

Playing with the STM32MP2

The author describes why the STM32H7’s pin-heavy FMC interface makes FPGA connections difficult on low-cost boards, and why the STM32MP2’s PCIe-capable SERDES seemed like an alternative. The project aims to run the MP2 as a bare-metal system using on-chip SRAM and upstream ARM tools, with the goal of connecting it to an FPGA over PCIe.

Olimex brings Ethernet to the Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32 | heise online

Translated title. Original: Olimex bringt Ethernet an Raspberry Pi Pico und ESP32 | heise online

Olimex’s €4.95 UEXT-CH390 adds 100 Mbit/s Ethernet to Raspberry Pi Pico and compatible ESP32 boards through SPI. Olimex provides ESPHome and Pico SDK examples, along with driver notes, KiCad files, and a schematic.

Made a ladder circuit with a generative AI: tank equipment, all 11 test items passed (verified in CODESYS).

Translated title. Original: 生成AIにラダー回路を書かせてみた：タンク設備、試験11項目が全部通った（CODESYSで動作確認）

The piece examines whether AI can reliably write ladder logic for PLCs and validates this by a hands-on test with a simulated tank system, noting past difficulties with AI-generated diagrams and focusing AI on essential ladder components and connections to ensure workable automation.

I Used GPT to Design a Feature Packed PCB and It Actually Worked

The author describes building a complex PCB with GPT-assisted design, resulting in manufacturable boards and a feature-packed Halloween controller with wireless control and extensive automation; the process involved data extraction, schematic layout, placement, routing, and validation through simulations.

‎boardAR App - App Store

boardAR turns your table into a AR electronics bench, letting you build and test Arduino circuits with guided projects, on-device AI help, and local save/review of designs. It supports AR wiring, component placement, code execution for limited Arduino features, and educational modes, but does not simulate all analog circuits and cannot upload firmware to real boards.
