How to subscribe to Variscite's GitHub repositories to get real-time notifications
Would you like to be the first to know about our software releases?
Subscribe to Variscite’s GitHub repositories to get real-time notifications about new System on Module software releases and additional updates.
GitHub provides a few ways to get such notifications:
-
- Using Atom feeds:
If you are using an Atom/RSS reader, you can subscribe to the following Atom feeds of Variscite software releases:
Yocto releases: https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform/releases.atom
Android releases: https://github.com/varigit/MX6x-android/releases.atom
Debian releases: https://github.com/varigit/debian-var/releases.atom
Boot2Qt releases: https://github.com/varigit/meta-variscite-boot2qt/releases.atom
FreeRTOS releases: https://github.com/varigit/freertos-variscite/releases.atom
Zephyr releases: https://github.com/varigit/zephyr/releases.atom
Note that in addition to releases feeds, GitHub also provides an Atom feed for the commits in any repository branch.
For example, the Atom feed containing the commits in the 5.4-2.1.x-var01 branch of Variscite’s linux-imx repository can be accessed at:
https://github.com/varigit/linux-imx/commits/5.4-2.1.x-imx_var01.atom
(basically, you can navigate to the GitHub repository web interface, e.g., https://github.com/varigit/linux-imx,
choose the desired branch, and click on “commits,” then you can just add a “.atom” suffix to the URL to get the respective feed).
By subscribing to the above Atom feed, you can get notified whenever a new commit is pushed to the 5.4-2.1.x-imx_var01 branch of the linux-imx kernel repository.

As AI-driven demand accelerated through 2025, memory chip shortages developed as semiconductor manufacturers shifted capacity to large-volume buyers, leaving many sectors, including medical, industrial, edge/IoT, and robotics poorly served. Climbing prices and lengthening lead times, exacerbated by knock-on effects across other SoM components, have created two clear pressure points. SoM vendors relying on outsourced manufacturing have limited flexibility when availability drops, leaving customers facing the same delays. Separately, product developers who chose chip-down architectures over SoM-based designs must procure components on their own. Those buying in smaller quantities are routinely pushed down supplier priority lists, and in many cases cannot get supply at all.
