I am convinced that modern embedded framework development is less about engineering and more about surviving a sequence of silently laid traps.

This is an article I’m updating as I experience this device.

I just finished watching Fast and Small C++ on YouTube.

I was recently reading https://wp.josh.com/2020/01/22/wtf-sonoson-the-evil-companies-do-and-good-people-coming-together-to-stand-up-to-them/ where the author expressed an unpopular opinion on what was then the early problem of hardware becoming unusable w…

One of the nifty things about common open source software is that lots of people write down answers to their own problems.

This blog has always leaned heavily into RISC-V, but this year has been a bit of a low in RISC-V for me.

Beagle-V welcomes you to 2012.

Many of us have been pretty disappointed in the long lead time it takes to get chips from specification into production.

The much anticipated products from Sipeed, The M1S Dock and M0 Sense are now being delivered to customers.

Though it was just announced last week, people are talking about Bouffalo Labs’ BL808 like it’s a Symmetric Multi Processing (SMP) system.

I don’t have enough LilyGO products in my lab; I should probably have more.

History The Kendryte K210 seems to have been one of the early success stories for RISC-V, if not in mainstream computing, certainly in maker mindshare.

In a recent blog post, Espressif announced the ESP32-C2.

About this article: This preliminary attack on Buttons on BL60x with Nuttx can be thought of as an article that’s part of Lup’s Book on BL606 generally and his notes on Nuttx on BL60x specifically.

The Bouffalo BL602 family of parts is a very popular low-end RISC-V part.

Because of the difficulty downloading disk images from geographic distance or sites that may not translate well, this is a collection of important boot images for members of the D1 RISC-V processor.
