Also, unlike this one, many of my skeets don’t get here. Something about @… doesn’t pick them all up. Probably bsky is sinking the stuff they determine not interesting or whatever.
I despise algorithmic feeds where I can’t fix my algorithm. @…
And another open FPGA debug IP joins my rapidly growing suite.
These are all portable systemverilog and will run on anything, but the immediate motivation is making up for Efinix's rather lackluster debug tools.
The general concept is basically "CoreSight / ADIv5 for FPGAs". You have a generic transport (so far only UART is implemented) that provides read/write access to an internal APB bus with debug IPs hanging off it.
The debug bridge points to a ROM table …

So many notes in this story sound familiar, echo posts that have crossed my TL:
- initial skepticism
- mandate from management who got swept up in the hype
- found a way to work with it
- “it honestly felt magical”
- hard not to just use it for everything
- just used it for everything
- delivered a whole project without knowing how it worked
- embarrassing mistake from over-reliance
- “realized the AI chat was making me delusional”
- hamster wheel feeling
- loss of motivation, hints of depressive symptoms
- creeping sense of purposelessness, existential dread
- creeping realization of quality loss
- creeping realization of ethical disaster
- creeping realization of hidden human and environmental costs
- re-finding joy and sense of purpose / self in doing work by hand
- fuck it, I’m out

This is so incredibly good it deserves to be reproduced in full: 😆 🔥 😆
“Carney pointed to a map of North America, half of which had been accurately but artistically burned away.
“It is our intention for the pipeline to cross over Saskatchewan and British Columbia, but if they prove too charred already then I plan to divert the pipeline and profits through the Northern states, as part of my next round of capitulations to Trump in CUSMA negotiations.”
Danielle Smith, smiling so wide that many in the audience naturally assumed she was thinking about forcing trans children to dig the pipeline infrastructure themselves, stated that she fully supported the project being moved up before her province was so full of smoke it couldn’t exist anymore.
“This is a great day for Albertans, and none of the rest of you traitorous fucks,” Smith stated, flipping off any reporter who looked like they were from east of her province. “The sooner this gets done, the sooner I can start looking for new ways to hurt endangered wildlife and complain about how no one ever gives Alberta anything.”
