### Source excerpt

Welcome to the July community update - I hope you're staying cool in the heatwave. This month we're introducing the Pinecil V2 - an evolution of the original Pinecil - and taking a closer look at the Star64 RISC-V SBC. We also discuss Quartz64's development progress, the PineBuds and receive an update on PineTime and InfiniTime from JF. Let's get into it.
