Every time I see someone post about #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer my brain re-capitalizes to GlasGoWinterFaceExplorer for some reason.

The #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer project now has a written Code of Conduct documenting our practices!
I encourage you to read it: github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/gla<…

i want something like a livestream for coding but without having to like... be on a voice chat for an audience
i don't even mind it that much, it's just that writing #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer applets is a comfort thing to me and i don't wanna make it harder

looks like i have successfully turned #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer (as well as an RTL8211FD devboard I got from Aliexpress) into a fairly decent network interface card :D
this applet is written idiomatically and with no modification of the core USB framework (using the abstractions every other applet is using, rather than direct access to libusb or something), in a single-thr…

screenshot of a glasgow applet "interface.ethernet_rgmii" showing statistics in one terminal, with two runs of "iperf" in another terminal, and a run of "ping" in the third one

with the exception of one 14.7ms outlier, the ping RTT stays under 10ms during the last 34 seconds of the test visible

did you know: maximum-sized USB HS BULK packets where the payload is all-ones are about 16% longer to transmit than the ones where the payload is all-zeroes or random?
this is easily measurable using the #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer with a slightly modified benchmark applet:
I: g.applet.internal.benchmark: mode sink-zeroes: 42.84 MiB/s (342.70 Mb/s)
I: g.applet.int…
