🎸 Behold, the quest to run #NAM on a #microchip smaller than your patience! 🤯 Because why not spend hours optimizing code for a digital guitar #pedal that nobody asked for, and that won't make you a rockstar? 🤡 Keep rockin' that embedded hardware, folks! 🎶

Running NAM on Embedded Hardware: What We Learned · TONE3000

We built a NAM loader for the Electrosmith Daisy Seed: an ARM Cortex-M7 board that's become a popular foundation for DSP-based audio products, from eurorack modules to commercial guitar pedals.

Animal owners worry about pet welfare after microchip company closes

the closure of one national pet microchip company, Save This Life, has left many pet lovers worried after the company shut down without notice.

If your pet's microchip number starts with either 991 or 900164 - you could have one of Save This Life’s microchips.

Linux 6.19 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 6.19 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML): No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected - just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today watching the latest batch of televised commercials. The betting man would expect them all to be AI-generated, but maybe some enterprising company decides to buck the trend? Doubtful, but there's always a slight chance. But for anybody outside the US, maybe taking the newest kernel out for a spin instead is an option? I have more than three dozen pull requests for when the merge window opens tomorrow - thank you to all the early maintainers. And as people have mostly figured out, I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to

Microchip PIC32CM PL10 Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers are pin-to-pin compatible with AVR MCUs, support 5V operation

Microchip has added the PIC32CM PL10 MCUs to its PIC32C Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller family. Pin-to-pin compatible with AVR MCUs, the new PL10 MCUs feature a range of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), 5V operation, and functional safety (FuSa) compliance. The microcontrollers notably integrate a 12-bit ADC with strong noise immunity, a Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) for responsive touch applications, and two serial communication interfaces with USART, I2C, and/or SPI support. Target applications include industrial control, building automation, consumer appliances, power tools, and sensor-based systems. Microchip PIC32CM PL10 specifications: MCU core - Arm Cortex-M0+ core up to 24 MHz Memory -  Up to 16 KB SRAM (8 KB in current datasheet) Storage - Up to 128 KB Flash (64 KB in current datasheet) I/Os and peripherals Up to 55x programmable I/O pins Up to 16x external interrupts Multi-Voltage I/Os (MVIO), removing the need for external level shifters Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC)  with

An updated ClusterHAT v2.6 will be available shortly.

The Cluster HAT is a simple way to connect up to 4 Raspberry Pi Zero to a host Raspberry Pi using USB Gadget network and serial with I2C power control via GPIO.

The main changes are:

* The USB HUB updated to the CH334F which has a Multiple Transaction Translator (MTT).
* The (now obsolete) XRA1200P I/O expander is replaced by an ATtiny1616 which ships with firmware emulating the XRA1200P. It also has a built-in UPDI programmer for the ATtiny1616 allowing simple updates or switching to custom/more advanced firmware.
