In a surprise move, NVIDIA is bringing CUDA to RISC-V CPUs 💥
Announced at RISC-V Summit China , this allows RISC-V processors to run CUDA drivers + logic, with NVIDIA GPUs handling compute tasks ⚙️
Enables open CPU + proprietary GPU AI systems—big for edge, HPC & China’s chipmakers 🇨🇳

A potential shift in global AI infrastructure 🌐

It's FOSS News · In a Surprise Move, NVIDIA Brings CUDA to RISC-V ProcessorsA surprise collaboration, I must say.

👉 The Open Science Hardware Foundation is #hiring an Executive Director. They'll lead program development, cultivate partnerships, secure diverse funding, and manage a growing #nonprofit org.
🔬 The Executive Director will help expand the reach & sustainability of the #openhardware ecosystem and advance the role of #opensource hardware in #OpenScience

@nixCraft and the same is true for #OpenHardware too: once I own it, I truly own it and can repair it myself rather than being tied to a service centre that is a sort of organically regulated sneak-subscription ⛓️

As a bonus, people who make open hardware tend to care about the product, so I'm more likely to get one that's designed to be long-lasting than one that'll become obsolete as soon as the company can come up with a newer reshash of the same product to thrust onto people ⏳

"I’m particularly interested in hearing from institutional designers interested in alternative models for tech financing, hardware developers who’ve struggled with the challenges of open hardware projects, manufacturers who are frustrated by proprietary tooling and licencing fees, policy researchers thinking about the regulatory and economic dimensions, and anyone who’s frustrated with the current state of proprietary hardware dominance."

@tarakiyee is "exploring how we might create sustainable economic models for open hardware infrastructure development that don’t rely on the extractive capitalism that has shaped our current tech landscape"

Always wanted to crank out 10 pull-ups on easy mode? Meet OpenExo – an open-source modular #exoskeleton you can build yourself.

🦾 doi.org/10.1126/scirobotics.ad

All the code, schematics, 3D models, and control algorithms are freely available at theopenexo.org

Starting at $2,000, with up to 35 minutes of runtime, OpenExo supports multiple setups: hip assistance for inclines, ankle support for running, multijoint load carriage, or elbow aid for lifting.

Had a great time at @opensuse Conference 2025 in Nuremberg! A highlight was the hands-on workshop by @tropicsquar, showcasing #TROPIC01 — the first open and auditable secure element. A big step for verifiable hardware #security in #Linux systems, edge devices & secure infrastructure.

Thanks to the Tropic Square team for the great session and the devkit

Open Source und Hardware?! Ja: nicht nur Software kann quell-offen sein! Auf unserem Juli-Stammtisch beschäftigen wir uns mit offener Hardware. Es geht um #DIY-Hardware, 3D-Druck-Vorlagen und Demokratisierung von Technologie. Open-Source-Hörgerät, #RISCV, Feinstaub-Sensor, ESP, #Arduino und #RaspberryPi – was gehört dazu, was nicht; was kennst du noch? Alle Menschen sind herzlich eingeladen zum gemeinsamen Snacken und Schnacken ab 19.30 Uhr im @netz39 in der Leibnizstraße 32!
