Given that I want to target i486 with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?

It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...

Thoughts, @rasteri @polpo @TechTangents @lazygamereviews @foone ??

Do you know if someone have already used Guix to build embedded systems images ?

The idea is not to run Guix on an embedded system, but to use Guix to build an image of a system and then run it on an embedded system.

And, on the embedded system, use the image by loading it in read only. With an A/B image update system that restart with the previous image in case of startup fail.

And, of cours, a copy of the manifest put inside the image.

Thank you.

... and just like that, my time working with Renesas on Linux kernel upstreaming is over. Two years have gone very quickly!

I'll be taking a short break then diving back in to consultancy work relating to Open Source, Embedded Linux, Yocto Project and related areas.

I'm equally comfortable solving some hairy network driver performance issue as I am discussing the impacts of the EU Cyber Resilience Act on the use of Free/Open Source Software in a product. If you're interested in working with me from September onwards them feel free to drop me an email at paul@pbarker.dev (business-to-business contract basis and fully remote only).

Now, time to open the wine.

It only took me an hour (actually it was more like two) but I managed to remove a node from the device tree without a rebuild or anything. And it didn't meaningfully accomplish anything. Device tree overlays used to be easy to use but I guess industrial SoM vendors don't build their kernels like Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone. I really don't want to recompile this kernel. #linux #embeddedlinux

The right programming language can make or break your project – affecting everything from performance to maintainability. C++, Rust, and Dart each bring distinct advantages to the table. Want to know which one is best for your project? Our latest blog explores the unique benefits of each.
