@fuzziphy @samsoniuk If you want to really get wild: there’s decommissioned Microsoft stratix 10 cards floating around which are essentially the same design as the Intel PAC D5005 board, so you can build an OpenFPGA Stack BSP/OneAPI ASP & use the 2025.0 OneAPI stack for SYCL FPGA acceleration

@fuzziphy @samsoniuk Try the Altera Self-Service License site. You can get Quartus Pro free for noncommercial use for 3-month intervals

@gobeige @lauriewired Very cool! Hope to learn more about it someday. I’ve been thinking about bodging out I/O on this board as well as the other Baidu Kintex7 board that’s been floating around.

[josef k. @iosefkay]

@gobeige @lauriewired Very cool, do you have any documentation on this?

[josef k. @iosefkay]

@FoolOfD Fortunately hardware engineers never really shot themselves in the dick with the whole “hey, everyone can do this!” attitude that the software crowd did, so credentials still matter. I will hard-pass on anyone without an EE degree on any hiring team I’m on.

Have you tried lowering your standards even further and letting society and everyone around you grind your ego down to dust until there's nothing left? You should start a gratitude journal the real problem is you're very entitled and not grateful enough

@thdxr A few months ago it was all MCP-this&that, now everyone is going crazy about ‘skills’ which basically amount to “you’re the man, don’t make mistakes” markdown injected into the prompt.
Guess what? In a few months it’ll be something else.

it's so awesome how all our software has gotten so much faster, more stable, packed with useful features ever since vibe-coding revolutionized programming

@lukevassallo95 @ico_TC Yeah, I have been able to program it with a couple simple projects using Vivado 2025.1 on Ubuntu 24.04 and an old DLC9LP Xilinx programmer.

@HSVSphere Systemd would be fine if it was only init. The problem is that it’s a growing monolith that’s tightly coupled with the Linux kernel, so it’s pretty bad for software portability.

@dessyfreakaz @aprolixian @nisten I was just joking, but there’s a lot more overhead in there than you’d think. Reducing code size by thousands of lines has a lot of benefits for debugging analysis & optimization when you’re trying to squeeze the most you can out of an MCU(e.g. multi-sensor logging systems)

[josef k. @iosefkay]

@aprolixian @nisten Yea I’m just teasin’ lol. You only need to drop down to the LL stuff when timing schedules are tight.
Also, every other embedded dev I have ever met uses a Windows PC in some capacity. You can tell that a lot of these guys have never done any real work in the field.

[josef k. @iosefkay]

@aprolixian @nisten A real burn would be to rag on u for using the HAL on UART & DMA instead of accessing the registers like a man using the LL macros.😉

Baby elephants come equipped with a trunk but they don't automatically know how to use it, so they always go through a phase of discovering they have a trunk and trying to figure out how it works

@splinedrive As an embedded engineer who’s seen some of the absolute worst C code ever deployed, I am willing to entertain embedded Rust. It’s not my first choice but hell is other people’s code & if compile-time guardrails can help me avoid headaches, I’ll take it.
