Ep048: Truly Trustworthy Hardware, Glowing Uranium Marbles, Bitstreaming the USB, Chaos of Congress

Hackaday Podcast · 1 Jan 2020 · 1h 08m

What this episode covers

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams review the week's most interesting hardware hacks, starting with Elliot's experience at the Chaos Communications Congress (36c3), where he showcased a hoverboard-derived electric cargo carrier and discussed various community projects. The hosts then cover a diverse range of builds, including a verifiable hardware platform called 'Be Trusted' designed to prevent tampering, a uranium marble-based random number generator, and a VGA-to-USB adapter reverse-engineered for bitstreaming. They also highlight creative uses of 3D printing for paper pulp molds, a discrete 1-kilopixel camera, and the democratization of FPGAs and AI on the edge.

    044 - Scots Army Knife

    Piotr Esden-Tempski of 1BitSquared discusses the company's role in manufacturing open-source hardware, specifically the Glasgow digital interface explorer, the iCEBreaker FPGA board, and the Black Magic Probe debugger. He explains the economic rationale for using an old Quad 4C pick-and-place machine for small-batch production and details how Glasgow uses an FPGA to dynamically generate hardware protocols via the nmigen HDL. The conversation also covers the geopolitical shift toward RISC-V in China, the challenges of debugging legacy industrial equipment, and the importance of documentation and community education in the open-source hardware ecosystem.
