[Podcast] Kernel Panic - Board on Fire ~~> #001: Speculative Execution und ein Execute Never Bit

In der ersten Folge des Kernel Panic Podcasts geht es um ein Problem mit dem sich mein Kollege Ahmad Fatoum beschäftigt hat. Wie so oft beginnt die Geschichte mit einer Aufgabe, die eigentlich™ in fünf Minuten erledigt sein sollte, driftet aber rasant ab in eine Fehlersuche in den Untiefen der Systemprogrammierung. Es geht um Caches, Adressbereiche, Spekulative Ausführung von Code, um Funktionierbits und auch um Nicht-Funktionier-Bits.

First Steps using the candleLight

So you went and got yourself one of our fancy rocket-penguin branded CandleLight dongles or, being the die hard hacker you are, went and soldered one up in your toaster oven labeled "not food safe". What's next then? How do you use this thing? Let's answer these question by grabbing a Raspberry Pi and exploring some of the possibilities.

Update of our Remotelab equipment

If it looks like an advertising blogpost, reads like an advertising blogpost ... it probably is an advertising blogpost! Nobody likes to read advertisements and we don't like to write them at all, but like all proud parents, we would like to show you the new products that our corporate subsidiary, Linux Automation GmbH, has freshly added to their store. With these new products we, and maybe soon you, will complete (y)our Remotelab infrastructure.

Showcase: Remote Working

Project work with our customers includes the handling of hardware prototypes. Since work is generally done in parallel, on many project for many customers, there is a constant flood of hardware prototypes accumulating on the desks of our developers. These accumulations of loose boards can become a problem. This is especially the case when a number of people work on a prototype. Another common annoyance occurs when a project has not been worked on for a period of time, as this might involve moving the hardware from one desk (or storage location) to another and setting it up again. Right now, in a situation where working from home is more common and relevant than ever, this has become even more of an issue. The distances between desks and storage locations of our developers are now measured in kilometers, rather than meters.
