QUALCOMM IS BUYING ARDUINO, RELEASES NEW RASPBERRY PI-ESQUE ARDUINO BOARD

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, an Italian company known mainly for its open source ecosystem of microcontrollers and software. Arduino will retain its independent brand, tools, and mission. The acquisition still needs to be approved by regulators and go through other customary closing conditions. While Arduino is committed to open-source hardware and software, there are concerns that the acquisition will mean that its ecosystem will eventually be locked down.
