We’ll explore its ar chitecture\, check out some sweet hacks and reverse-engineering efforts\ , and live-code a bare-metal QPU app in assembly. Whether you’re on a m ission for open hardware or just morbidly curious\, come for a discussio n of why anyone would spend their time digging into a closed firmware bl ob\, as well as some speculation about the future of low-power hardware accelerators like the VideoCore. \;\n \;\nLouis Howe is an embedde d software consultant\, architecture enthusiast/Turing machinist\, and n ew Portland transplant. \;\n \;\n \;\nPractical Hardware Forkin g (7:45) \;\n \;\nCameron - Thingmaker\, musician.\n\nImported fro m: http://calagator.org/events/1250466391 URL:http://pdxbyte.org/ SUMMARY:pdxbyte users group (C/C++/Assembly) LOCATION:New Relic: 111 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 2700\, Portland Oregon 9720 4 United States SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
