The last days, i reworked the #MicroZig build interface to closely match the original build.zig interface.

This is what it needs to build firmware for a #RaspberryPi #Pico now with #Zig.

This build script will even output a #uf2 file instead of a raw elf file, so you can just flash the compiler output directly!

#Embedded #software done ez.

Finally #crafting and #woodworking again!

I'm sanding the shelves to paint them black, going to be my new bar in the living room

Doing some work on the #Ashet #HomeComputer again.

Today: Adding 16 megs of RAM to the machine. This is one of the towers in the box on the mainboard.

You can see both my current setup of the computer, as well as some code documentation on the SPI signals, and the actually generated signals from the logic analyzer. It was quite the work to get the two sync up, also figuring out that the ONE ram i'm observing is flaky and had to be resoldered to work.

Now: MORE RAM!

#embedded #maker #hacking

Doing some #embedded #hacking:

Building myself a stacked memory from #spi ram chips.

This is for the #Ashet home #computer, an self-made #homecomputer project. Using serial #ram instead of parallel ones to save myself from #soldering hell.

Luckily, vertical structures save myself from making a complex layout that handles all those 7 lane crossovers. This way, i just have to handle the /CS pin, all others are shared anyways

I just got two old screens by WINCOR NIXDORF and threw my OS onto it (luckily those monitors come with DVI-I).

What you see is #Ashet OS running in #QEMU on the virt platform, but full screen on a physical monitor.

I like the vibes it gives me. Truly looks like a real OS now.

Sharing some work on my hobby #OS:
Ashet Operating System

For those who don't know: I'm building a home computer called Ashet Home Computer, which is meant to be a retro-style computer that enables the home computer experience to people who never had that. But obviously with modern traits like internet, up-to-date tooling and techniques, but still graspable by a single person.

#Zigspace is happening today at #shackspace #stuttgart.

Join us and talk about the #Zig programming language!

Open now!

Friendly reminder:

The #ZigSpace #meetup is happening friday, the 25.11.2022 in #shackspace #stuttgart.

Learn about #ziglang, enjoy a cold Club Mate and have fun! No matter if you're a #Zig pro or have never touched the language before. Everyone is welcome!
