Phoronix: NVIDIA Announces DRIVE AGX Orin With New SoC Built On Next-Gen GPU + Arm Hercules Cores

Nvidia and ARM devices... I recall the tegra familly. So little upstream. So sad.

Fixed already.

Be careful for what you wish for. If every board had an upstream of everything the ARM-tree would be a worse constant mess than it already is.
I'm actually quite thankful that I don't see shit being upstreamed as soon as anyone has declared a new world order with a new ARM board/SoC.
Thoughtful designs don't need much tinkering. Front ass designs do.
I can think of a number of SoCs that has been killed due to ridiculous amount of unmaintainable FUBAR hardware and drivers put into the SoC.
