Porting complex applications (especially those written in C) from x86 to ARM can be pretty non-trivial. I can't speak to the GIMP code in particular, but I've done several x86->ARM…

We live in an age where combining music, software, and signal processing can let you do some amazing things. I can imagine a high-fidelity simulation of this instrument's timbre be…

Finally, something that I can speak to! I once ported Quake 1 to the Rockbox operating system for MP3 players, which enabled it to run on the Apple iPod: https://www.youtube.com/wa…

There is no way this could work. The EDA tool (e.g. KiCAD) is only the first step of the fabrication process - you generate Gerbers from your KiCAD board layout, which are a highly…

A big shoutout to Alyssa here. For those of you who don't know, she is doing this work as a college student .

This runs on the clickwheel iPod nano, by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV8etSGH86M

This is getting at the idea behind the Fourier transform. 3b1b did an excellent video with exactly this visualization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUNpyF58BY The idea is that …

The AGPTek Rocker is one of our last targets still in production and can be acquired for around $50. I haven't used one myself, but from what I hear it's fairly decent but not perf…

This reminds me of my port of Quake 1 to Rockbox (for MP3 players): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22162834

That's correct. I realize my parent comment was ambiguous. I'm the author of the port; the video is by a different developer who's since taken it down.

I'll add in another fun anecdote while I'm at it. There are virtually no good ways to debug code on-device with Rockbox, short of adding in a bunch of function calls to print varia…

Thanks! Resolving that bug took quite a bit of serendipity. The break came when I was on the verge of giving up on the assembly rewrite and reverting back to C. I'd left my "frozen…

(Author of linked post.) That video was recorded by another developer, who had some personal (non-legal) concerns with it and plans to reshoot.

Author here. This is actually a fairly old project of mine by now, but I just recently submitted it to Hackaday, which is probably why it's surfaced here. The original video demo h…

Good idea! I'm not sure that's easily achievable with my current architecture, though.

+1 for the nit-pick. Hardware programming make me think of FPGA design and Verilog, etc. I'd call this 'embedded programming'.

Excellent work! Clean C is underrated nowadays.

I learned C and open-source through hacking on this. Fond memories! PS: We have a Quake port - https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginQuake :)
