just to complete the story, SCSI does have ATA command pass through. That is ATA commands over SCSI interface. In Linux, the libata library provides this implementation. There are SATA drives that understand SCSI over ATAPI albeit in a li

If anyone is interested in the 6502 and its history, this YouTuber does a fantastic job covering the history. Some of his videos include past employees of MOS & Commodore employees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP9y_

funny that they have power down to the milli-watt and it's so stable. Anyone know what the update rate is? Is it with every second? Cool looking web site

just out of curiosity... if it's an eval board, then do they provide schematics which are typical of other eval board producers? Having the schematic might aid in getting things working assuming the MAC <-> PHY circuitry supports

hmm, sounds suspicious, in that the seat sensor was disabled? Even our vehicles won't move, when in gear if no one is in the seat. Seat senors cut the drive train. Even my 15 year old el-cheap-o Sears garden tractor does the same th

I actually agree with this statement and to your credit, a lot of the design work I do follows some of this. Keep in mind that these are factories on wheels which means not only do we consume a tremendous amount of data, we also generate it

The non-computer people comment refers to the folks in the video; not this forum. You also seem to be conflating right to repair vs. right to inspect code because you feel you have the right to do so for some reason (safety, don't like

Too bad that's not stated in the article. The way the article reads seems to imply a kernel OS.

by emcrazyone 9y ago
Calling the commodore's firmware a kernel is a bit of a stretch in my opinion because it did not schedule anything. The 6502 had no MMU and therefore no virtual memory or running of more than one app. One clever idea I learned when I

it's not and you're right. The right to repair effects agricultural equipment. Hacking the software to add features or disable things is not repairing it!

Tractors & Combines are way more expensive than cars so it's not a fair comparison. You can't use a cherry picker to replace a tractor engine... At least the large kind. Tractors and Combines use DEF and I hear reports of pe

Companies generally don't want you in the software for safety reasons. While true there is intellectual property around the guidance and swath generating algorithms, companies hate lawsuits. Lawsuits tie up resources, can cause stop

Skimming it, unless I missed it, under Linux there is no mention of epoll, edge vs level triggering. Things you should familiarize yourself with if you care about performance.

Exactly, I thought the very same thing. In fact, I read it with a critical eye at first and as I got through I was quite pleased. I thought it was really cool to mention the 8b/10b encoding near the end. yes, well done indeed!
