Linux Kernel 6.12 Confirmed As LTS, Will Be Supported For 'Multiple Years'

Slashdot reader prisoninmate shared this report from the blog 9to5Linux Renowned Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman announced Thursday that the Linux 6.12 kernel series has been officially marked as LTS (Long Term Support) on the kernel.org website with a predicted life expectancy of at least two years. Linux kernel 6.12 was released on November 17th, 2024, and introduces new features like real-time "PREEMPT_RT" support, a new scheduler called sched_ext, and DRM panic messages as QR codes, as well as numerous new and updated drivers for better hardware support... Linux kernel 6.12 joins the many other long-term support kernel branches, namely Linux 6.6 LTS, Linux 6.1 LTS, Linux 5.15 LTS, Linux 5.10 LTS, and Linux 5.4 LTS. Apart from the latter, the rest of them, including Linux kernel 6.12, will be officially supported until the end of December 2026. Hopefully, Linux kernel 6.12 will be supported for more than two years as the kernel maintainers usually aim for four years of support for a new LTS kernel, especially if there's demand from hardware manufacturers and other companies that aim to use a long-term supported kernel in their devices.

Linux 4.19, the Last Supported Kernel of the Linux 4.x Series, Finally Reaches EOL

Slashdot reader prisoninmate shared this report from 9to5Linux: Linux kernel 4.19, the last of the Linux 4.x kernel series, has now reached the end of its supported life as announced earlier on the Linux kernel mailing list by kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman. The Linux 4.19 kernel branch was released more than six years ago, on October 22nd, 2018, and it received no less than 325 maintenance updates, the last one being Linux 4.19.325. The biggest highlights of Linux kernel 4.19 were initial Wi-Fi 6 support, the EROFS file system, and a union mount filesystem implementation. Kroah-Hartman said on the mailing list. "This one is finished, it is end-of-life as of right now... It had a good life..." As a "fun" proof that this one is finished (and that any company saying they care about it really should have their statements validated with facts), I looked at the "unfixed" CVEs from this kernel release. Currently it is a list 983 CVEs long, too long to list here.... Note, this does NOT count the hardware CVEs which kernel.org does not track, and many are sill unfixed in this kernel branch. Yes, CVE counts don't mean much these days, but hey, it's a signal of something, right? I take it to mean that no one is caring enough to backport the needed fixes to this branch, which means that you shouldn't be using it anymore. Anyway, please move off to a more modern kernel if you were using this one for some reason. Like 6.12.y, the next LTS kernel we will be supporting for multiple years.

Linux Preps for Kunpeng ARM Server SoC With High Bandwidth Memory

An anonymous reader shared this report from Phoronix: New Linux patches from Huawei engineers are preparing new driver support for controlling High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) with the ARM-based Kunpeng high performance SoC... [I]t would appear there is a new Kunpeng SoC coming that will feature integrated High Bandwidth Memory (HBM).Unless I missed something, this Kunpeng SoC with HBM memory hasn't been formally announced yet and I haven't been able to find any other references short of pointing to prior kernel patches working on this HBM integration... It will be interesting to see what comes of Huawei Kunpeng SoCs with HBM memory and ultimately how well they perform against other AArch64 server processors as well as the Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC competition.

by George Whittaker

Robotic vision, a cornerstone of modern robotics, enables machines to interpret and respond to their surroundings effectively. This capability is achieved through image processing and object recognition, which empower robots to perform tasks such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and even interaction with humans. Debian, with its robust ecosystem and open source philosophy, offers a powerful platform for developing robotic vision applications.

This article dives deep into the realm of robotic vision, focusing on image processing and object recognition using Debian. From setting up the development environment to integrating vision into intelligent robots, we’ll explore every facet of this fascinating field.

Introduction

What is Robotic Vision?

Robotic vision refers to the ability of robots to interpret visual data from the environment. It involves acquiring images via cameras, processing these images to extract meaningful features, and recognizing objects to make informed decisions.

Why Debian for Robotic Vision?

Debian stands out as a versatile and stable operating system for robotics development due to:

• Extensive repository: Debian provides a wealth of libraries and tools for image processing and machine learning.
• Community support: A large and active community ensures continuous updates and troubleshooting.
• Stability and security: Its rigorous testing processes make Debian a reliable choice for critical systems.

Scope of This Article

We’ll cover:

• Setting up a Debian-based development environment.
• Fundamentals of image processing.
• Advanced object recognition techniques.
• Integrating these capabilities into robotic systems.

Setting Up the Development Environment

Required Hardware

• Cameras and sensors: USB webcams, depth cameras (e.g., Intel RealSense), or stereo cameras.
• Computing hardware: Devices like Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson Nano, or standard desktops with a GPU.
• Optional accelerators: Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for enhanced performance.

Installing Debian and Essential Tools

1. Install Debian:

   • Download the latest Debian ISO from debian.org.
   • Use a tool like Etcher to create a bootable USB stick.
   • Follow the installation instructions to set up Debian on your system.

2. Install Dependencies:
