Embedded development is such a pleasure in 2026.

I remember using eclipse in 2010, with "golden" BSPs you would never date to update. You had one shot at setting up **one** cross-compile toolchain and don't even think about using a different compiler version than the one specified by your vendor (or downloaded during install).

Now, simply specify the compiler in devenv.nix. Gone are the long hours of looking in the library documentation on how to use this untyped API.

Hardware IC manufacturers should now go full open source for all of their drivers and binary modules because it will now REDUCE support requests due to LLM code generation tools.

and yes, I know about the legalities in WiFi firmware but resolved now?

I may not be as much knowledgeable about chip package designs (alright, not very), but... combining QFP + PLCC? what for, and how the fuck is that going to be soldered?

What I do in my free time? Write embedded device drivers from scratch without GPT so I can get back to what I refer to, "Hacking Nature". #STEM #Embedded #ReverseEngineering

Hello fedi!

I have an .MVAX #firmware #update file for an MV Silicon chip (unknown model).

Has someone already encountered those? And if yes, is there some documentation, tooling or existing #ReverseEngineering work done of that format?

For the record, the file magic (first 8 bytes) is as follow:
4D 56 B5 58 05 01 13 00

And the end of the file contains the following (no spaces, wrapping is mine):

MVSKeyFileMVBP10<0x90>0xBE>SIMPLEs
<0xD3><0x9A>.<0x90><0xD9>
MVSILICONKEYFL<0x00><0x00>
<0xFF><0xBD><0x00>0x00>

Thanks in advance for your help!!

I might try and grow a plant again and use "make an automatic plant waterer that uses a sensor to detect soil moisture" as a project to practice programming AND compensate for my disabled ass not being able to keep plants alive. I think all the materials can be got from AliExpress < $20. I'd like to be able to make something like the minichord one day when I'm better at programming for embedded systems. Or like a solely tongue/mouth operated digital instrument. #embedded #disability #plants

TinyGo - A Go Compiler For Small Places Get Started See the code Go on embedded systems and WebAssembly TinyGo brings the Go programming language to embedded systems and to the modern web by creating a new compiler based on LLVM. You can compile and run TinyGo programs on over 100 different microcontroller boards from maker boards such as the BBC micro:bit and the Arduino Uno, to industrial processors from Nordic Semiconductor and ST Microelectronics.
