They churn out new parts and don't bring in fixes. See all the chips in their lineup that have a USB host controller. Every one of them (they use Synopsys IP) will fail with multip…

Thanks for the heads up. I have a design at fab that uses the H7's OctoSPI so this concerns me. I steered away from the memory mapped mode because it seemed too good to be true - w…

This is both true and false. While I work with Intel/Altera, Xilinx is basically the same. That devboard is using recycled chips 100 percent. Their cost is almost nothing. The kint…

Ticket2Ride Number9 is a fixed function GPU from the late 90s that was completely open sourced under GPL

I'm glad someone found objn64 useful :) looking back it could've been optimized better but it was Good Enough when I wrote it. I think someone added png texture support at some poi…

That's mostly correct. It is as you say, except that shading and texturing come for free. You may be thinking of Playstation where you do indeed get decreased fillrate when texturi…

Forgot to add, over that time frame that DID add MIPI documentation so they've got that working.

The other Efinix chips are still sold as "has serdes" yet have not a single mention of it in the datasheets. At first I thought it was because they're still going through silicon q…

Good idea and concept. I fully support the idea. Being able to specify a generic part requirement instead of hunting for a specific part is nice sometimes, but any company that mak…

Great info, and now some chips are supporting Octo-SPI which is even more vendor dependent. At some point we're basically back to parallel flash...

Go find some wooded parks or walking trails. You want some place with lots of trees. In my experience old growth suburbs have the most cicadas.

There's one Rivian here in F150 land. No charging infra, so owner is brave.

Status page is down for me now too

USA, Instagram app broke about 5 minutes ago.

Thanks, that's more what I was looking for. Looks like it is still pretty early stuff but could be useful in the future.

Visual Studio-type ide debugging, viewing structs, run to cursor, etc.

How long before I can visually debug rust on MCUs with source level stepping in my IDE? Til then, no way to switch.

This is really impressive even compared to WebP. And unlike WebP, it's backwards compatible. I have forever associated Webp with macroblocky, poor colors, and a general ungraceful …

Those are 30 year old parts, of course they are different now. Errata exists but it is always mitigated or documented, and I've not run into any show stoppers in the past 10 years.…

Good, at least the execs didn't go with some awful AI inspired name. This way, all the old datasheets they never reformatted are still correct. Intel missed the boat on low end stu…

You've got it exactly right, and the same technique works well for giving presentations. Run through your slides in front of your rubber duck, as if they're the audience. You want …

I'm dealing with this right now (Asus ROG Z790, 14900k, Noctua NH-D15). The stock fan curves seem to be ineffective and also annoying as they are hunting constantly. Single P core …

Can I ask what mobo vendor? Do you know what power limits the BIOS was targeting that caused the error? On my Asus/14900k, it was uncapping PL1/2 and I saw absurd temps and power e…

At this point, if you want the fastest DDR5 ram (for singlethreaded stuff it's a huge help) then all you can get are RGB xxtreme gamer sticks. My office glows at night because the …

As a data point, I just built a new dev machine with a 14900K on a new ASUS board. Out of the box with default settings, it was pushing 320W through the CPU in stress tests. I use …
