With all these UF2 first boards the first thing I do is solder on the SWD header and figure out what magic sequence of memory read/writes I need to make over jlink to unlock the fl…

Over a year ago http://grep.app showed up which does basically all I want from GitHub search and Nat (GitHub CEO) said lets talk, but nothing public happend. Biggest thing I use it…

The contacts bit is a disaster right now, there is a whole support page devoted to it and it still does not tell the whole story. https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/36000…

You can already do a lot with https://renode.io I have run a full simulation with a verilator (slooow) of a small RISC-V before I had hardware in hand.

So many years of people telling me that my exact setup does not work, yet here I am not remembering the last time I had an issue with displays on Linux. It has even gotten _better_…

I wonder if this is the same VPN technology they have been using with Google Fi for public WiFi access points https://support.google.com/fi/answer/9040000

Except that even studies by the US Department of Justice show that risk of financial loss has one of the lowest impacts on likely to appear in court. This is also not recent discov…

Right URLs never change. Remember when one of the most popular golang logging libraries renamed from github.com/Sirupsen/logrus to github.com/sirupsen/logrus and all of a sudden ev…

Yes codewarrior is loading.

I do not miss managing the memory banks, the HCS12 were also something special.

I would have agreed with you at one point, but most of the automotive companies are diving into this. They want less computers and would rather invest in hardware partitioning if n…

You can also get with some more work the much higher resolution HIRT images from the GOES sats. It's kind or fun to mess with. I used it as an excuse to mess with offloading the er…

BLE mesh is difficult to do at high performance across multiple platforms and we did it years before there was a spec. Would I use the spec now? Probably. Would I have waited 3 yea…

We wrote a Bluetooth mesh product before there was Bluetooth mesh standard. Don't call me lazy for not publishing a short spec when the actual Bluetooth spec is over 100 pages. BLE…

This kind of response is a big part of why I have given up building commercial IoT products for now. It's great to want to have some super abstract high level self discovering prot…

Why is this the company employees problem. Seems like work should be supplying good audio hardware if this is a real issue.

I don't get why people are OK with a company being able to wipe a personal device on a whim. If you want full control of my mobile, then provide a mobile.

If you are interested in a framework for stitching together a soft SoC there is a great framework call FuseSOC. It supports several of the cores used here. : https://fusesoc.net/ T…

If you tell it to _navigate_ home it will actually pull up the directions and the go button will have a autostart timer so you don't touch anything. Ask for directions and you will…

First think I had to do was see if Active Desktop worked... And yes it does. "View My Active Desktop as a web page", I guess Windows 98 was just ahead of its time.

I have come to just accept the firmware will be read out in most microcontrollers unless they are specifically built to hold secrets. Maybe you can keep someone from copying your c…

This is what I am currently working on. I think I paid $80 to get one shipped to the US most of them seem to be in eBay in Europe. https://twitter.com/enjoy_digital/status/12579851…

You can find some shitcoin mining flops that are $300-$400 worth of hardware being sold off for $60 that are PCIe cards. There are a few examples in the LiteX project.

most of it was FPGA work but in some cases DSP processors. Even when you have floating point support it is much slower than if you use fixed point. As for MATLAB, modeled plenty of…
