With shipping and tax the One cost me £94. The Flint 2 has been on sale for £115.51 twice in the last couple of months, 23% more, so not a huge price difference.

My takeaway from this is that the existence of RISCVuzz will make future verification much easier. Just run your prototype (or even an emulation of it) against a known good array o…

For anybody who doesn't want to go scratching around in the wiki git history, I dropped the markdown into a gist - https://gist.github.com/cpswan/2b65fa11c83c8d16dc464bb0f9a91...

Maybe you've been using the GD2md-html plugin. I've certainly found it useful over the years, and will likely still use it for some of my workflows. https://workspace.google.com/ma…

Have you found your way to Stuart Conner's page? http://www.stuartconner.me.uk/ Lots of resources on the original TI dev boards and tools for TMS99Xx.

John Kennedy has done a very thorough emulation of the KIM-1 on iOS for anybody wanting to play with it https://apps.apple.com/us/app/virtualkim/id1548356829

My final year project at University was building a real time simulation of the human peripheral hearing system on an array of T800s, written in Occam. The work continued without me…

The TMS9900 architecture lives on in TI's MSP430 line of MCUs, and they're everywhere. You probably won't get through today without interacting with a bunch of things that have MSP…

My main gripe is that Dependabot can end up raising multiple PRs for the same dependency bump in the same repo (especially with Dockerfiles). I really wish I could tell it to do ro…

It's not very encouraging that they don't have reverse DNS for their own IPs

Nice. It would be even nicer if it was possible to have a WiFi connection on wlan0 and masquerade that to the soft AP. I take a WRTnode with me when I travel as it's so often usefu…
