The various ARM SoC/platform pull requests were already merged today by Linus Torvalds for the in-development Linux 6.10 kernel.
Recently there's been a lot of ARM-based handheld/retro game consoles [1]seeing mainline Linux kernel support and that has continued with the Linux 6.10 cycle. There's a number of new ARM devices to be supported by this next kernel version. Highlights include:
- Two new ASUS wireless routers are now supported by the mainline Linux kernel. The ASUS RT-AC3200 and ASUS RT-AC5300 use a Broadcom SoC and can now run on the mainline kernel.
- Device Tree bindings for the new NVIDIA Tegra Security Engine driver that was [2]added in the crypto pull request .
- Support for the Allwinner-powered Tanix TX1 set-top box.
- The Device Tree updates enable GPU support on the Cool Pi 4B and Cool Pi CM5 as well as the RK3588-based Rock 5B and EVB1.
- The GameForce Chi handheld game console is now supported by the mainline kernel.
- The Rockchip powered Radxa ROCK 3C is now supported by the mainline kernel.
- The Sun5i-based PocketBook 614 Plus is now supported with five Allwinner-based devices in total being added this round.
- The Rockchip powered Forlinx OK3588-C and Forlinx FET3588-C are now supported.
- The Sony Xperia 1 V is now supported along with two other older Qualcomm smartphones.
- 14 industrial and embedded boards added based on the NXP i.MX6, i.MX8, and other SoCs.
