Something seems to have changed in Twitter. Last Wednesday I got my first "you have notifications" email since 2018, which is a nice fix!

[Sean Cross @xobs]

@mithro @enjoy_digital @cr1901 @LoveMHz @MakeMHz Agreed! I'm rather proud of that, for sure.

@suarezvictor @mithro @tannewt @whatnick Fomu has docs that were programmatically generated as well: https://t.co/hQN4OQo4A5

I think mostly what you want is to pass `csr_svd` to the `Builder` to generate a SVD file: https://t.co/nm8IhvDvdY

You can also do litex.soc.doc.generate_docs(): https://t.co/YpTaQkmqt7

[Crowd Supply @crowd_supply]

15 minutes until our livestream, with @helenleigh dialing in live from our Open Hack Day, with special guest @xobs.

Join us to take a look at his latest hardware, ask questions, and get inspired by the range of projects people are working on today ⤵️

I justreleased a first draft of filesystem support on Xous using PDDB as a backing! `std::fs::File` and friends now behave like you think they should on Xous. More information at https://t.co/crGWMbblpA

@josh_triplett @yaahc_ cc-rs works fine for RISC-V code, so I suspect that line in the comments is outdated. We build our version of compiler-builtins using C code: https://t.co/7BTrHWocLn

I'm more wondering if the Rust builders have a RISC-V C compiler, so we could start upstreaming Xous support.

[Sean Cross @xobs]

Xous now supports the underpinnings to create processes at runtime! https://t.co/aYGgRsXySn

[Sean Cross @xobs]

@yaahc_ I considered adding it upstream, but this comment made me hesitate: https://t.co/W8jJ8d6Btn

Do the Rust distribution containers support RISC-V C compilation yet? If not, where should I look?

[Sean Cross @xobs]

I've been working on a new embedded operating system called Xous. It's a memory protected microkernel. I just released a port of Rust's standard library for it. So nice to have an allocator again. https://t.co/N1PlQNhFCY

[Sean Cross @xobs]

I've been using the @renodeio emulator from @antmicro to develop the software stack for #Precursor. I posted about the rationale behind using Renode and some of the cool things you can do with it at https://t.co/QuFZqU3g5r

@woohuiren
> okay, found out that viewqwest was leaking traffic on equinix IX and -nobody- is doing BGP filters. So technically isn't your fault.
Still having routing issues :(

@zhexian @ViewQwest It's down for me in Serangoon...

@DPMHackaday @GovTechSG We can't post pictures for one very mundane reason: they could be used to buy out the entire supply chain while a tender is ongoing.

[Sean Cross @xobs]

I put together some of my thoughts on the @GovTechSG Trace Together Token at https://t.co/DONLjOpbQr -- tl;dr is that the hardware looks good, and we'll have to wait to see how the software looks

[bunnie @bunniestudios]

I was invited to review Singapore's #TraceTogether contact tracing token. Thoughts at https://t.co/UmPeGWPmxc

My favorite insight: Singapore needs a token to serve two groups: the underprivileged, and iPhone users. Both don't own a phone, but for different reasons.

@GovTechSG

[Sean Cross @xobs]

@jim_mussared The Token's protocol is different, and the app will be updated to be compatible with both protocols. The Token relies exclusively on broadcast beacons rather than using a Gatt server. In that sense, it's closer in spirit to the Exposure Notification Protocol.

[Sean Cross @xobs]

I got invited to the GovTech offices yesterday to take a look at the TraceTogether Token they developed. It's a sound approach they're taking. It was great to meet Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and hear some of the reasoning behind the Trace Together decisions.

[GovTech (Singapore) @GovTechSG]

@harishpillay @xobs Thank you @harishpillay and @xobs for joining the session, and sharing your insights to how we can improve the #TraceTogether Token.

@xobs @GovTechSG Thanks, Xobs. Good read. I decided not to duplicate what you did and have mine here: https://t.co/dZlvUNP316
