🎛 Banana Pi BPI-M2 Pro
Banana Pi has already designed an Amlogic S905X3 SBC with Banana Pi BPI-M5 that closely follows Raspberry Pi 3 Model B form factor, but they’ve now unveiled a more compact model with Banana Pi BPI-M2 Pro that follow the design of the company’ earlier BPI-MP2+ SBC powered by the good old Allwinner H3 processor.
Specifications:
▫️ SoC – Amlogic S905X3 quad-core Cortex A55 @ up to 2.0 GHz with an Arm Mali-G31 GPU
▫️ System Memory – 2GB LPDDR4
▫️ Storage – 16GB eMMC flash, microSD card slot
▫️ Video & Audio Output – HDMI 2.1 up to 4Kp60 with HDR, CEC, EDID support
▫️ Power Supply – 5V/3A via power barrel (micro USB port does not support power input)
▫️ Dimensions – 65 x 65mm
▫️ Weight – 58 grams

💻 Why Rust is a great fit for embedded software?
Compared to C, Rust is a relatively new language, which has its pros and cons. Like C, Rust can target low-level devices. However, Rust does a lot of things differently from C. Let's start with the things Rust has to offer.

📟 Internet Radio Using an ESP32
We are going to build an Internet Radio device with a big 3.5” display using an inexpensive ESP32 board. Believe it or not, we can now build an Internet Radio in less than 10 minutes and with less than 30$.
In this project, the ESP32 board connects to the Internet and then it receives MP3 data from the radio station we are listening to, and it sends some commands to the display.

📰 Firmware vs Embedded Software: Explained with Examples!
In this article, let us learn what the term “Firmware” means and see how that differs from the terms “Embedded Software”. Let us also see how these 2 types of code fit into the world of “Computer Software” with the help of a few examples!
Embedded Software and Firmware are 2 terms you will find often used interchangeably in the industry when we talk about code that is running on a microcontroller.
But is there a difference between these 2 terms? Or are “Firmware” and “Embedded Software” just 2 terms that mean the same thing? This article is about answering this question!

📰 Next Raspberry Pi CPU Will Have Machine Learning Built In
At the recent tinyML Summit 2021, Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton teased the future of 'Pi Silicon' and it looks like machine learning could see a massive improvement thanks to Raspberry Pi's news in-house chip development team.
It is safe to say that the Raspberry Pi Pico and its RP2040 SoC have been popular. The Pico has only been on the market for a few weeks, but already has sold 250,000 units with 750,000 on back order.
During Upton's talk at 40 minutes the slide changes and we see "Future Directions" a slide that shows three current generation 'Pi Silicon' boards, two of which are from board partners, SparkFun's MicroMod RP2040 and Arduino's Nano RP2040 Connect. The third is from ArduCam and they are working on the ArduCam Pico4ML which incorporates machine learning, camera, microphone and screen into the Pico package...
