@cnxsoft @SipeedIO The last one I bought from you "with sigrok" required a hacked up, windows-only binary build where you never provided source or Mac builds and it wasn't accepted into the Sigrok tree. Fool me twice.

Yes, I'm going to keep bitching every time I see a similar announcement.

@markitnl @LundukeJournal No, even more free. https://t.co/Tt646b9j5T (I saved you the search only because I already had it open.)

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@atc1441 @DeLonghiUK That's a V3 core with "fixed" encryption. Harder to glitch, but there was a USENIX talk on overwriting $a0 to break out.
Crazy that a coffe maker has three 32-bit cores w/ 2@240Mhz. :-/

@dangerousproto Not to tag along (OK, maybe a bit) once you HAVE NMEA, if you need to convert it, reduce it, filter it, interpolate it, slice it, dice it... oh, wait. Channeled too much inner Ron Popeil there. GPSBabel (free, open source) does LOTS of NMEA stuff.

@SipeedIO I hope that unlike the last one I bought from you, you actually release the source like you're required to do under GPL so that Mac users - that were promised builds - can at least build it themselves. Double shame that your code was so messy it couldn't be upstreamed.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@SipeedIO Unless it captures analog, only the top makes sense.
You've still not released the source and/or Mac build of the last one I bought, though, in violation of GPL.

@RueNahcMohr @splinedrive Because it's in my browser history ...

@RueNahcMohr @splinedrive I don't know the guy, but I know he spent more years at Rivos, SiFive, and Facebook than he did at Google. (He's been in the news before; I'm not a stalker.)

That code wouldn't have flown at Google. He rushed, signed off on submitted garbage, and took a reputation hit.

@soy1cookie @cbostona2liter @davepl1968 I know this because I'm on my second one...

This is a spinal cord stimulator. It's just above the belt (note pelvis 'wings' just to the left of the hardware at L4-L5-S1) and has wires anchroed up in the thoracic area. The device "scrambles" pain signals from hip, leg, feet.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@rodrigo_p_a @davepl1968 That said, SimH, the PDP11 simulator, HAS been ported to esp32, so you could probably get 2BSD and maybe 3BSD going.

I had port of UNIXv7 about 80% running on a RISC-V micro (GD32V103) that was WAY wimpier than an ESP32. That very context switch was where I lost interest.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@rodrigo_p_a @davepl1968 It would be unpleasant. ESP32 doesn't have a very robust MMU. Either everything is a global and process A can scribble on process B (intentionally or otherwise) or pswtch() randomizes and copies all writable segments every context switch. It would be as awful/useless as XENIX/86.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@StarFiveTech Ah, so it's a slower part - 1.25 instead of 1.5. That's the "Lite"

Sorry, but that doesn't work. You chose the contractor to supply cores from and they didn't deliver, years after delivery date. Why make another part using a defective GPU they can't produce drivers for?

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@BruceHoult @splinedrive Howdy!

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@splinedrive ...and I just found one of the three on bsky. :-)

Which I also check about once a month, but it is WAY less filled with rage-inducing garbage, so that number might go up. Hard to imagine coming back here as a poster.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@splinedrive People are over social media in general. The billionaires have all unmasked. I've not opened FB since 2022 midterms.

I'm one. I might peek in here once a month. You're one of about three accounts left here I actually read and interact with.

Back to RSS & Forums for nerd stuff.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@savourymarrow @MilkV_Official Then you also got a refund. (I did.) Sophgo, the chip maker, was found "accidentally" shipping chips to a restricted country, so they got kicked out of the fab and lost rights to the process.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@splinedrive At least two. Next Ubuntu will boot on exactly ZERO hardware that you can buy today. Z E R O. IBM/RedHat even admitted today they can't ship ANYTHING in under two years.

Hobbyists and skill-builders will still buy dev boards at hobbyist $ levels, but they just froze the market.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@splinedrive Credit where it's due: enhanced string delimiters are a (welcome) core language feature of C++11.
C++17's string_view isn't really involved, though string_view IS awesome for finally delivering a non-owning range. Here's a plain ole char array.

[robertlipe @robertlipe]

@splinedrive @SipeedIO I know you're firmly Team Linux, but I also know you're Team Open Source, and them not honoring GPL is the kind of thing you probably care about more than many people will.
The earlier model, at least, was probably RISC-V BL618. They never published the firmware source, either.
