OSHCamp 2019 additional talk, Zerynth workshop and Festival Day programme.
by Andrew Back 18 Aug '19

18 Aug '19

Hello, A twelfth talk has been confirmed for OSHCamp 2019: — The complex and simplistic elegance of the 1-wire protocol The Dallas 1-wire protocol is a two-way communications bus that allows microcontrollers to talk to a number of peripherals using just a single wire. It promises high data rates, a range of peripheral types and very long wires all with the minimum of resource requirements and complexity. This talk will explore how it works, how to implement it and how to actually drive those busses made up of very long wires. * Andy Bennett trained as an Electronic & Electrical Engineer and has a background in consumer electronics, FPGAs, operating systems and device drivers. For the last 10 years he has been building companies around distributed database technology. He is currently Director of Register Dynamics who help companies and governments apply their data usefully, responsibly and ethically. Andy is a Technologist that likes to inhabit the void between users, software and the hardware that it all runs on. His love of ceramic taps is well-documented. // Don't forget to book tickets via Eventbrite: http://oshcamp2019.eventbrite.co.uk/ In other news, Zerynth in partnership with DesignSpark/RS will be hosting an IoT workshop on Monday 2nd September, which is free to attend and participants will get to keep the hardware used in the workshop! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/designspark-rs-components-23220915493 And the Wuthering Bytes Festival Day programme has now been finalised: https://wutheringbytes.com/whatson/festival-day Regards, Andrew -- Andrew Back http://abopen.com

OSHUG #75 — Inaugural London RISC-V meetup, Mon 22nd July.
by Andrew Back 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Hello, Registration is now open for the 75th meeting, held in partnership with the BCS OSSG. Details below. Regards, Andrew // 22nd July 2019, 17:30 - 20:30 at IET London, Watson-Watt room, 2 Savoy Place, London, WC2R 0BL. http://oshug.org/event/75 This will be the inaugural London meetup for the RISC-V community, hosted by the BCS Open Source Specialist Group and the UK Open Source Hardware User Group. As with the other UK meetups, we provide an opportunity to share the latest ideas around the RISC-V ecosystem, combined with plenty of time for networking. However unlike other meetups, the London meetup will have a specific focus on the open source aspects of RISC-V. This is a joint meeting with the British Computer Society Open Source Specialist Group. — The LowRISC project Alex Bradbury will talk about lowRISC, a non-profit community interest company, using collaborative engineering to develop and maintain open source silicon designs and tools. Their expertise includes processor and SoC design, with a particular focus on hardware security, design verification, RISC-V tools, and the LLVM compiler. * Alex Bradbury (@asbradbury) is a Co-founder and Director of the lowRISC project. You may also be familiar with his LLVM work, and the LLVM Weekly newsletter. — The OpenHW Group Rick O'Connor will introduce the Open Hardware Group, an industry and academia grouping, aiming to provide high quality free RISC-V hardware and software IP. * Rick O'Connor is Executive Director of OpenHW. — The XCrypt instruction set extension Ben Marshall will talk about his work at Bristol University on the SCARV project: a side-channel hardened RISC-V platform. He’ll introduce the XCrypt instruction set extension for RISC-V. * Ben Marshall is a Research Associate on the SCARV project. Note: There is networking over tea, coffee & biscuits from 5:30pm. The talks will start at 18:00 prompt. There will be opportunity to network further from 19:30 at the IET, continuing later at the Coal Hole pub on the Strand. -- Andrew Back http://abopen.com
