Tired: PE license -
so i got a steam deck (i wanted one for a while & the threat of them running out of DRAM because of AI demand is looming) -
Apple is going to add Mac Mini production to it's nascent server manufacturing campus in Houston this year.Apple is going to add Mac Mini production to it's nascent server manufacturing campus in Houston this year.
Fun fact, Tim Cook started at Compaq Computer making servers in Houston.
A great (and underrated) city for this stuff. Port of Houston, two international airports, and at the junction of I-10 and I45 in the middle of the country. Plenty of room to spread out and huge workforce.
Apple accelerates U.S. manufacturing with Mac mini production
Apple today announced a significant expansion of factory operations in Houston, bringing the future production of Mac mini to the U.S. for the first time.

Also, you can tell semiconductor people are a bit off WRT their definitions of "normal, safe chemistry".@azonenberg Best HF safety training video from a TV show:

Thinking about decoding some of the more complicated protocols in ngscopeclient more fully on the GPU.@azonenberg I know that STM32 uses a 16x oversampling on their UART ports, and you can change this to x8 or x1.
Maybe you find a couple of edges and then pick a few spots in the middle of the range to sample on?
You could run an average on those points and if it isn't 0 or 1 alert the user or make an adjustment.
Or just run a decimation filter before it?

The red dot probably mean this is a QC reject, huh?@craigjb I see a 14 pin .1" header at bottome right with LEDs labled FPGA_DONE and FPGA_INIT_B - that's gotta be the JTAG port.

The red dot probably mean this is a QC reject, huh?@azonenberg Does Virtex protect itself if temp gets too high - i.e. w/o a heatsink on it?

The red dot probably mean this is a QC reject, huh?@craigjb Oh yeah, you probably need a heatsink/fan too, 25W is a lot of Pd.

The red dot probably mean this is a QC reject, huh?@craigjb Maybe pull the reset low and see if power changes? It might be stuck trying to access DDR that isn't there, or possibly bitstream comes from off-board?

This is a good slide deck from TI on I3C vs I2C.This is a good slide deck from TI on I3C vs I2C. I3C uses dynamic addressing (like DHCP), but you can assign a I2C address to a I3C component manually so you don't have to find it in a lookup table.
