An Interview with Saar Drimer

The Amp Hour · 12 Feb 2016 · 1h 18m · Episode 286

What this episode covers

Saar Drimer, founder of Boldport, discusses his background in hardware security at Xilinx and Cambridge, where he demonstrated relay attacks on Chip and Pin systems. He details the failure of his previous EDA tool, Boldport Flow, and the creation of PCB mode, an open-source tool that uses Inkscape to design artistic circuit boards. Drimer explains how Boldport leverages this unique visual approach to sell custom hardware services and a new subscription service called the Boldport Club, which delivers limited-edition electronic projects like the Peas board and Cordwood puzzle to members.

    T-25-010 : Ioannis Papamanoglou and Narayan Powderly - Engineers transforming how we design, test, and build hardware with atopile

    Narayan Powderly and Ioannis Papamanoglou, co-CEOs of atopile, discuss their command-line circuit design tool that brings software development practices to hardware engineering. They explain how their frustration with slow board development cycles at Tesla and smart bike lock projects led them to create a domain-specific language that captures design intent rather than just schematics. The guests detail how atopile integrates with KiCad for layout, leverages LLMs for rapid iteration, and aims to empower full-stack engineers by automating the drudgery of component selection and validation.
