- January Update: Thinking Out Of The Vox
PINE64’s January briefing highlighted several key projects. The PineVox firmware, led by Gamiee, now supports Home Assistant integration and wake‑up detection, with plans to add local wake‑up and Wi‑Fi connectivity before a tentative February release. PineNote users report positive feedback, though a Debian‑related update bug (removing a /lib64 symlink) has been identified and fixed. The community also received new PineCam and StarPro64 prototypes for development. PINE64 will attend FOSDEM without a booth, and a second‑generation PineDio USB LoRa adapter is progressing in partnership with Meshtastic. The update concludes with a brief mention of the upcoming 1.15 InfiniTime release.
