:( the QOM inheritance is where I've had my wrist bugs. Recently I merged from master (upgrading me from version 8.something to 9.2.?) and they dramatically changed the resets. I tried the new way and had segfaults in bad places that w

I've said this before on here and I'll say it again. The QEMU code base is a nightmare. The amount of fake C++ is mind numbing. Every time I come across a variable or strict declaration or method with the word "class" in

I only use it because VirtualBox was being slow and the 3D hardware acceleration wasn't working even when I think version 7 said it should. Switched to VMWare and it's been almost perfect.

I have a 7950x3d. It's my upgrade from.... Skylake's 6700k. I guess I'm subconsciously drawn to chips with hardware loop buffers disabled by software.

It would be nice to get a brief definition of "low code." Otherwise great article. I've found myself using "low code" frameworks when they setup my environment for me and can generate the code files. Key example was

The note about creating your own data types is interesting. I used to be heavily dependent on tuples. Admittedly dicts would've saved me here but I liked the efficiency of numeric indexing. Anyway, any time I changed ordering or anythi

A bit fuzzy. I mostly work on M-class so idk what the sig would be, but a cursory glance says there's a dedicated "go to Jazelle" instruction that maybe it deals with differently? That way if any bytecodes overlap with arm&#x
818.
by Neywiny 2y ago
Jazelle was before my time but what I like is that maybe v7 maybe even v8 have enough Jazelle logic to say "we don't do that here" and that's it. It was in one of their docs that the only functionality is detection of th

Agreed. I feel like the majority of startups I've seen on here are reinventing the wheel, solutions in search it problems, etc. Maybe this will stop VCs from being so frivolous and needing bailouts.

It's too bad not every embedded device is an MCU :/

by Neywiny 2y ago
That's what this is looking like tbh. I guess I'm just hoping for a miracle. Maybe chiplets will save us.

At embedded world 2024 they pushed IoT for other reasons. They wanted us to do it for security and updates. No more telling users to put a bin on a flash drive and plug it into a hidden port under the coffee maker or something idk, just be

Yeah those are what I'm looking at, but even then we've been at 8Gb for years. Manufacturers only want SLC NAND in these for valid reasons and I guess the market isn't pushing for now. The 9x8 is useful but the 3.3v that eMMC

This is why I've stopped reading TH. It's copy pasted marketing material with no explanation. Too many articles are like "this company invented abc. Abc is incredible. It'll revolutionize the world. Long live abc."

I'm fully aware of why there's been no improvement, it just sucks for me.
827.
by Neywiny 2y ago
The use is that there's often (in my field) no space for an 11.5x13 eMMC. There are some that are slightly smaller, but as you brought up the wlcsp-8, there's nothing like eMMC/high capacity NAND density scaled down. If I had

by Neywiny 2y ago
But they aren't high capacity. As far as I've seen, we've been stuck on the same XY size 512 Mb dies for over a decade. Even now, Infineon is claiming they have a series that'll go up to 4 Gb but is still at the standard

I just want smaller SPI flash for embedded :( it's been over 10 years since there's been improvement in that space

Yeah it's weird, I feel like a repo is untrustworthy if it wasn't committed to in the past year but sometimes a project is just done. Now I'm actuality there would likely be work on my end to update it for integration with mo

by Neywiny 2y ago
I like when repos say "not implemented yet" or "to-do" or "working on" and the last commit was years ago. Makes me feel better about not going back to my to-dos I drop through my code. (Not meaning to throw sha

by Neywiny 2y ago
Agreed. Not enough processing power for anything onboard, no IO out the back (seems like a missed opportunity tbh) for expansion to do fun things. Not sure what I'd do with this. A quick search shows Hirose has a 0.5mm tall FPC connect

Thanks... I had more points earlier but I guess people changed their mind and decided they liked it better his way idk

I used to try do hard with READMEs. Nowadays on my internal tooling I put a few helpful commands, screenshots (my goodness the amount of programs on GitHub without a screenshot of what it does or how it looks), and some info on file formats

by Neywiny 2y ago
I think this whole article is predicated on misinterpreting the ask. It wasn't for the chip to take 100x less power, it was for the algorithm the chip implements. Modern synthesis tools and optimisers extensively look for design patter

Yep. I've had both polar reactions: "Wow that's really helpful. Your tool confirmed our model." And "Did you ask the PM first? You have to be careful with rabbit holes." I usually just do it if it'll be un

The COP is AMD/Xilinx. I have no idea what the agilex 3 and 5 costs are, I'm not an Altera user. I will note though, having used Lattice, Microchip, and (admittedly at the start of Titanium) Efinix, none of the tools come close to

The new COP FPGAs are in the $100-400 range. Not cheap but nothing compared to the high end parts.

Didn't see the old way but I'm having no issues on Firefox Android as of now. I really like the checkpoint thing. It's something I've craved from other platforms. I will note though that the 4 with the like through it (m

Thank you. I've thoroughly enjoyed 2048 the past 10 years. The new one isn't showing the numbers for me, though. I'm on Firefox on Android. Classic one works perfectly. Works fine on Edge for mobile (only have it for situatio
