Glasgow Interface Explorer revD

The new and improved open source multitool for digital electronics

I have a blog now! Like an old school long form one! Been meaning to set one up forever and then never got around to it until now. Starting with something small, a little teardown of a cheap Color E-Ink Android tablet: timonsku.zip/bigme-b6-e-i...

Bigme B6 E-Ink Tablet teardown

For another project I was interested in looking at cheap E-Ink Android tablets and landed on the Bigme B6 Color. A 6" color E-Ink tablet with a 1072x1448 resolution screen. The black and white portion...

My huge beautiful company is so important but also needs more money or it will collapse and die as it is weak and frail but changing the world. Please help me I am so powerful and strong and my company is so good, but also it needs more money than anything else ever has, for reasons of some sort

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 2y ago

Yeah I need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it because my shit is difficult right now. But it's important in ways even I haven't been able to work out. OpenAI is a serious business. Help me. Please help me please my serious company is so good. Help me www.cnbc.com/2024/12/27/o...

In 1994, a math professor discovered that Intel's Pentium chip sometimes gave the wrong answer when dividing. Fixing this "FDIV" bug cost Intel $475 million. I analyzed the Pentium chip and found the bug. 1/N

"RP2350 introduced a multitude of new hardware security features over the RP2040, and included a Hacking Challenge which began at DEFCON to encourage researchers to find bugs. The challenge has been defeated and the chip is indeed vulnerable..." fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/202...

Oh man. They leaned in hard on the security aspects. They knew in September it was faulty. Wanted the disclosure delayed until January. No notice of a 0 day. Whose IP has been vulnerable for months? Hack my stuff please, but if you want a secure platform is any of this ok?

Call for SPI flashes at #38C3 I'm developing some SPI-flash tools and want to try a variety of devices and flash chips for testing. Got devices where it's tricky to dump in-system or rare flash chips? I'd love to test them at #38c3 if you can bring them!

I love tools for electronics. As my present for christmas I just ordered an #Buspirate6 from @buspirate.bsky.social I bought my BPv3.6 many years ago, now its time for an upgrade. I love the community and the level of discussion at the forum where I'm learning a lot of electronics.

Last week spoke at the first annual Soft #RISCV Systems Workshop 🔥 about a #hardware #SoC in #FPGA made using #PipelineC for doing #DSP computing #FFT with custom hardware. Can see slides here (no recording): docs.google.com/presentation... #RISC-V #eda #asic #hls #rtl #hdl #verilog #vhdl

You can download the high resolution image here: github.com/TinyTapeout/... What's your favourite part? We love the Zero to ASIC logo and the Oscillating Bones ring oscillator!

This is the layout of our latest open source chip - Tiny Tapeout 9! By reducing cost and using open source tools, we've massively increased semiconductor accessibility. For more details on the design, and to read the 700 page datasheet - check tinytapeout.com/runs/tt09/

This was one of my most popular tweets, I think mostly due to the clear macro photo I took. Footprint was P0.5mm vs 0.65mm. So IC couldn't be soldered down. I was able to bodge existing boards in 1-2hrs. While my friend spent 10min on the redesign (+waiting a week for mfg/ship).

Finally, free time for playing with Glasgow - Digital Interface Explorer #GlasgowExplorer #FPGA

Hi 👋 I'm Greg, hardware engineer. I enjoy designing and building open source hardware projects. along with taking macro photos to document the process. Previously at a startup I used FPGAs and thermal LWIR cameras to map bushfires from aircraft Currently doing RISC-V ASIC things at IQonIC Works
