RISC-V London Meetup Monday 15 Jan 2023
by Jeremy Bennett 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Hi OSHUG members, A last reminder that the first RISC-V London group meetup of 2023 is being held tomorrow, Monday 15 January, at BCS London offices and online for those who cannot attend in person. Like all RISC-V London meetups, the focus is on the open source aspects of RISC-V. Details of the talks and registration: https://ossg.bcs.org/blog/event/london-open-source-meetup-for-risc-v-q1-202… We have one research talk and one tutorial. A team of Masters students from the University of Southampton will present their work attempting to create the world's smallest RISC-V AI processor. This talk is particularly interesting, because the project did not go as planned. As well as presenting the technology, the group will look at the difficulties of project managing a short project developing advanced technology. Nandni Jamnadi, project lead for the Open Hardware Group's GNU tool chain development will give a tutorial on how to add a builtin (intrinsic) function to GCC. This is based on her work with the CV32E40P, a 32-bit RISC-V processor with 8 ISA extensions, comprising well over 200 additional instructions. I look forward to seeing you in person or online.

Hello, This is just a save-the-date for OSHCamp, which will return on the weekend of Sat 26th and Sun 27th August. A CFP with more info should go out around the end of the month. In the meantime I'll be migrating the lists to a new server. The list e-mail addresses should remain the same, but the subscription management and archive URLs will change.

Lead the BCS Open Source Group
by Andy Bennett 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Hi Oshugs! I hope everyone is well. OSHUG and the BCS Open Source Group have been holding joint meetings for some years now and it's nearly time for their AGM again. In fact, it's next Thursday (20th!). and we will be holding elections for all the positions In particular, our current chair has moved away from the UK and therefore we're looking for someone who might lead the group over the next year. The responsibilites are not onerous because there are others who take on a lot of the work of organising meetings. However, the candidate must be an active member of the BCS. If anyone is interested in standing for this position, please let me know and we can put you on the nominations list of next Thurday. If you're currently an active member of the BCS, please seriously consider applying! Best wishes, @ndy -- andyjpb(a)ashurst.eu.org http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF

spare dev boards
by Ilya Dmitrichenko 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hi Folks, I've got some boards that I don't have much use for since a few years now, and my field of work has shifted away from hardware. Having had these in my drawer for a few years, I doubt I'll get back to these in my spare time, and would like someone to have these, ideally someone who wouldn't be able to afford buying these brand new. I have compiled a list of all what I've got, please have a look here and feel free to reply directly or share: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IyXKDG44M33ye8oGhTphg-HlSJKEezbZBOpKFL8… Ilya

If the hardware is owned by them and they are waiting to receive it back from you it sounds like it might not be great legally. -- Stuart Clark

Portugal provider NOS and 4G box
by LDV 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hi everyone, NOS is a provider here in portugal. They own the boxes you get when you have a 4G access with them. My contract is over. But I still have the hardware for the moment. I just got a concurrent prepaid 4G SIM. I tried to access the web interface on the LAN and it asked to insert a SIM. The box is Huawei hardware. (locked with NOS settings) When I tried the new SIM, I almost bricked/locked it but didn't. I could use that box a moment and give it back to them after their shop re-opens (locked-down !) Can I safelly install openWRT on it without damaging the hardware ? is it safe legally ? So if yes : could anyone give me directions to start. I have 5€ on my bank account (don't worry it's just to say : I must manage to do it) (nice exercise no ?) ;D Thanks in advance. -- /*____________________________________________________________________________*/ /* Louis-David VENANCIO aka Meta-4 /// +351.968.247.846 */ /* https://www.3DLibre.com owner. /* Rua das Romeirinhas, lote n°21 - 7540-187 Santiago-do-Cacèm - PORTUGAL */ /*____________________________________________________________________________*/

JTAG options
by Sevan Janiyan 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Hello, I have some Meraki access points which I'd like to re-flash with OpenWRT as the devices with the stock firmware are useless without a contract to tie it into the hosted management platform and Cisco removed the command used to reflash the device from the firmware environment before they were EoLed, hence leaving the JTAG route as the only option. I was wondering, what is the cheapest device I can get away with for use with OpenOCD? Could I get away with using an SBC without investing in new hardware? Regards, Sevan
