April 2023 - Update
Hello Khadas Community!
We are writing this newsletter to inform you that the International Labor Day Holiday will start on April 29th and end on May 4th. During this time, our colleagues will be on holiday as such support for Khadas Forum and Khadas Shop will be temporarily closed.
This month of April contains several new software releases for Khadas single board computers. As always, these updates were created in response to requests and feedback from the Khadas Community. We are glad to be of service to you!

Khadas x Armbian partnership
We are excited to announce that Khadas has became the platinum partner of Armbian which means that Khadas Single board computers will have official support from Armbian.
Armbian is an open source community project based on Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux operating systems that provides an excellent operating system and software application framework for embedded devices such as ARM development boards.
I believe Khadas will thus provide better software experience and maintenance for our users.

VIM4 with NPU is coming
VIM4 is a one of our best selling SBCs. When we first released the Khadas VIM4 in 2022, you may have been asking "Why doesn't VIM4 have an NPU even though it's hardware supports it?"
Now here it comes! We are going to release it in 23Q3. Please stay tuned!
