Not everyone works in the open. I do have open source side projects and contributions I’ve made on my own time - but almost everything I’ve done at work is closed source.

Hah - I recently built a USB - ADB adapter around a RISC-V MCU (CH32X035) in Rust. The design of the 'rtos' borrows quite a bit from Oxide's Hubris, but I haven't spent much time implementing supervisor functionality, me

I wondered if there was any support for running containers built in - something like EKS/AKS/GKE/Cloud Run/etc - but looking at the docs it appears not. I agree that VM per container can be wasteful - though something li

Do you have a solution for running containers (Kubernetes, etc)? Are you spinning up a Linux VM to run the containers in there, doing VM per container, or something else?

You could plausibly make bank switching work, but it’d take some effort. You’d want your block RAM to act as a write back cache, and then any bank switch must be intercepted and delayed until you can flush the full contents of the cache to

64 cores sounds like the Pioneer [0]. Their Oasis [1] board is going to use SiFive's IP, the main cluster is 12 P P670 cores, and 4 E cores. There are also 8 X280 cores as an "NPU", also RISC-V but with a slightly different I

I’m in a similar boat with the Pi 5 being the first I haven’t bought. I do have one of the VisionFive 2 boards, but I’m more interested in the Milk-V Oasis board that’s supposedly coming near the end of the year. Software support for RISC-V

Up here in BC it is 0.0975CAD/kWh for the first 1350kWh/2 months and then 0.1408CAD/kWh after - and BC Hydro is publicly owned and almost exclusively hydroelectric.

Whilst true it seems like the AWRE and Ministry of Defence thought it was credible.

It is a bit unfortunate that they took that approach. A patent would have seemingly been reasonable and it wouldn’t have died with them.

Do you have any open source embedded projects? I’m curious of the direction you’ve gone in.

My understanding was that those bits of HP ended up becoming Agilent, and more recently Keysight.

I sort of agree but for different reasons. I’ve never managed to get my GTX 1070 working on Linux without any caveats, though currently I’m closer than I’ve been before. If you’re happy using X11 life is relatively easy, though you probably

I discovered this the hard way with my home server. The boot drive whilst still working wouldn’t come up on boot. It apparently worked in Linux still but it was no longer bootable. Having to scramble after a power outage to get a bootable L

Isn't a big part of the strategy to have a fast core, do all the work quickly and spend most of the time in sleep. If you can do your work quicker you spend more time in sleep and save power? I don't really care about my phone bei

I could get over the perf but the power consumption is rough. It seems strange that the USB hub is using so much power. From a (leaked?) data sheet I don’t see any way to disable it - but it does have firmware which can be updated? There is

I really appreciate how easy Nix makes this. It’s relatively straightforward to overlay a package in your configuration to add a patch - meaning I get to apply my own patches and also get updates from upstream - at least until my patch does
