Embedded Software Projects

I work in embedded software engineering and it spills over into my personal life… or is it the other way around?

• Quick tip: enabling bash-like shell debug mode in U-Boot shell since the search engines didn't give this answer with my original search terms.
• Hand-rolling QorIQ PBL blobs to speed up hacking outside OpenWRT/Yocto.
• Flashing KT-Link buffer logic to Bus Blaster v3 to enable it to speak both SWD and JTAG.
• Reverse engineering battery charger firmware - WIP.
• Prodding firmware with GDB/MI to enable more rapid UI testing, removing reliance on physical hardware.
• Running AVR code in QEMU to decrease iteration time and accelerate development.
• JTAG-ing software straight to RAM to decrease iteration time on U-Boot on a Raspberry Pi Zero.
• (WIP) Getting Poky running on Altera Cyclone V SoCFPGA - Throwing away the standard Linux image and building my our own from scratch.
• Magic Sysrq Woes - A quick lesson in how to accidentally cause weird behaviour with serial peripherals.
• Stratum 1 time server - building a cheap stratum 1 GPS-disciplined time server
• Do it properly: Text LCD on Raspberry Pi and any embedded Linux board, really, using the device tree.
