Ok, dug around in the code. In Smartmontools I found the code for this variable: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/doxygen/atacmds_8cpp_so... It's code 179 (0xB3). From Samsung's website: http:/&#x2F

> The 100 is a normalized number, it's not the actual number of blocks. I'm not too sure about that. The only ref I can give is that they use the suffix "Cnt_Tot" which means "total count". When it's a

You wouldn't happen to know how close these ARM cores are to LPC1xxx or STM32? Would it be worthwhile to port Chibios to them?

First: I jumped into the comments before reading the article. I have quite some experience with Flash in the form of eMMC and SD/CF. SSDs aren't that much different from those on the low level. The controller that comes with the f

HP's claim isn't rediculous if you consider that they're not developing memristor tech to replace flash storage. They want to unify mass storage drives with DRAM. You do need an O.S. that can be partially rewritten, because t

Correct, it was wrong of me to point to "architectures" that lack Neon; you're correct in your reply. I should have mentioned specific implementations. My experience with Allwinners without Neon indeed comes from smart TVs an

Anyone experimented with this yet? I'd like to know how this is resolved when the architecture doesn't support Intel's SIMD approach, they map the objects pretty close to the instructions (SIMD.float32x4.sub and the likes). I

you can bend/compress wood with steam. But look at the width of that bottle neck. The others I looked at (playing cards, rubicks cube, ...) can be disassembled in smaller pieces that go through. That's his technique. So how do you

Anyone know what material the mirrors are made from? I'm surprised that the configuration is a horizontal device with the mirrors vertical, I'd assume a vertical device would be easier. Edit: hmm, on second thought, a vertical dev

A 6" wafer will also have lots of dies on the edge that don't pass automatic testing. Don't forget that most devices are located near the edge. Secondly, upgrading your Fab to switch your process to larger wafer size has a 10

Same as regular chips: in a grid on a wafer, then cut and pick&placed. Don't forget: yield goes up when the die shrinks because the defects are typically small spots. The smaller the die the better you pixelate the defects. The waf

Yes, you're missing an important detail about the lifecycle of arctic ice. Multi-year ice is about 6 years old. There's no 100 year old ice there. Every year it gets slushed, reaches a minimum around September and builds up again.
