When ordering his book, I asked @johnromero.bsky.social if he could sign it on a random page. It took a while because I was busy, but I finally found it 😁 Awesome book!
The only downside is that I can't put it down once I start reading haha.

OK, so I just recently discovered @babymetal.bsky.social and they are doing a concert here in the Netherlands May 13th. Guess where I'm going? 😁

Working on a new #FPGA blog post this evening. I'll be sharing the draft with my sponsors in the next few days. @yosyshq.com

"Yosys and nextpnr have excellent support for Lattice ECP5 FPGAs. However, without using the ECP5 PLL, you're stuck running at the speed of your dev board oscillator..."

I'm going to start a regular stream about #opensource silicon. Topics will include design, verification, #fpga, openlane, formal, #tinytapeout, #ASIC bringup, chip validation.

If you're interested, please let me know what days / times work for you:

I recently added Beginning FPGA Graphics support for Radiona #ULX3S in addition to the @digilent.bsky.social Arty / Nexys Video, and iCEBreaker. Four years after it began, I continue to update this series to make #FPGA development accessible. 👷 projectf.io/posts/fpga-g...
Beginning FPGA Graphics
Welcome to Exploring FPGA Graphics. In this series, we learn about graphics at the hardware level and get a feel for the power of FPGAs. We’ll learn how screens work, play Pong, create starfields and ...

I’m always looking for fun ways to show how chips work.

This interactive simulation actually lets you look inside a digital design as it’s running!

It’s a cellular automata by Alexander Mordvintsev and he taped out on Tiny Tapeout 9.

And no, it’s not a recording!

It's official, I'm going on vacation to Japan 🥳 Where do I go for vintage hardware (MSX, X68000, etc.)?

And other beautiful places too of course :D

We went from "Can it run Doom?" to "Can it run Quake?", and now to "Can it run Quake II?". The answer is "Yes" 😲

My Berserk manga collection is finally complete for now! Now I need another bookshelf in my lab for my technical books, because I don't have enough space for all my manga.

This is a bit time sensitive, but... feel free to RT.

I'm looking for a bit of paid work (low to mid hundreds of USD) before year's end.

Most comfortable with embedded Rust and FPGA design using Amaranth HDL (and Python in general). I am willing to write C as well.

TIL that Casey Muratori gave a lecture at my Alma Mater (fancy way of saying I studied there 😂) Utwente. Ant it is about high performance code, so you know it's going to be good 😁

I finally wired up a CAT6 SFTP cable from my modem to my PC instead of using ethernet over power thingies (which are TERRIBLE).

Went from barely 30 Mbps up/down to 920+ Mbps up/down.
