Most notable is the 1st Gen Amazon Echo technically now being supported by the mainline Linux kernel. But the new Arm hardware support includes overall:
- New SoCs supported are the Atmel/Microchip SAM9X60, ST STM32MP15, ST Ericsson AB8505, Unisoc SC9863A, and QualcommSC7180.
- New board support includes the Emlid Neutis SoM, Libre Computer ALL-H3-IT, Pine H64 Model B, SolidRun Clearfog and HoneyComb, Google Coral Edge TPU, and Samsung Galaxy S III Mini.
- The DeviceTree additions for Linux 5.6 even include adding the support for the first-generation Amazon Echo! The TI OMAP3630 is now technically supported by the mainline Linux kernel but good luck having it be of any use by itself.
- Another new platform worth calling out individually is the SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K support, which is aiming to be the 16-core ARM Workstation with decent performance capabilities, replaceable RAM, and PCI Express. We are supposed to be getting our hands on this notable ARM workstation board sometime.
- Texas Instruments support for secure accelerators and hardware random number generators on the OMAP4 and OMAP5.
- More NXP i.MX8MP SoC bring-up.
