    In this case the EPS already came stock with the functionality to request torque over CAN, that part of the code or the amount of torque was not touched. I agree it would not be a …

    Ghidra uses an intermediate language called p-code. When defining the CPU opcodes (and how to parse them), you also write a small snippet of p-code that represent that instruction.…

    The XOR encryption was just for the update container. Newer update files usually employ some stronger forms of compression/encryption. However, it's usually some strange in-house c…

    At some point the values have no deeper meaning and are just whatever VW decided on as their API. DBC files have concepts of enums, but that’s really diminishing returns and wouldn…

    See my other comment about Ford code being reference only. Supported cars have most signals defined in a dbc file, the mapping from name to id and bytes. See https://github.com/com…

    The file you referenced is related to Ford, which is not a supported car/brand. The code for Ford is provided as a reference and is forced into “read-only” both by openpilot and pa…

    Do you have any guess on when premium processing would be brought back?

    Seems like the https://www.vector.com/int/en/products/products-a-z/hardware... has some similar functionality. I have never used it, but by reading the documentation I'm not sure i…

    It might have not been clear from my comment, but I was specifically referring to those ML as a service. The TPUs seem to fall under GCP which has a less restrictive ToS. I do unde…

    I wonder if they will apply the same terms of service as with their Cloud Machine Learning offerings (Auto ML, Cloud Vision, etc). A snippet from https://cloud.google.com/terms/ser…

    Can you buy them for $199 in quantity? A phone is actually a very nice and reliable piece of hardware. It has everything you need CPU, GPU, DSP, two cameras (front and back), a bac…

    You are probably referring to fish shell which has this feature ( https://fishshell.com/ ). However, I find that zsh + ohmyzsh works just as well. After typing the beginning of a c…
