#356 – An Interview with Piotr Esden-Tempski
Welcome, Piotr Esden Tempski (@esden)
- Piotr got started with autopilots, Paparazzi UAV. These were initially made for ENAC
- The models (Lisa-/S,/M, /MX) are different sizes and have different capabilities.
- These platforms are built with STM32 (as are many of Piotr’s other projects)
- His programming language of choice? Common LISP (listen to him on Embedded.fm for more about this)
- The Black Magic Probe came out of the autopilot projects and a collaboration with Gareth McMullin
- Buy the BlackMagic here and the 1Bitsy here
- This tool supplants OpenOCD, instead allowing the user to connect to the GDB Interface via this hardware pathway.
- A key component is LibOpenCM3, an open source ARM cortex M library
- SIMD – single instruction multiple data
- Risk V5 – SiFive
- Interested in learning? Work through and mess with the existing examples for the 1Bitsy!
- Platform.io is an online IDE for multiple platforms, including Arduino.
- redare2 – live debugging
- sublime text
- Atom text editor
- ARM Debug Interface Five (ADIV5)
- The 1bitsy DEFCON Badge — the 1bitsy 1up (hardware design files) — was using parallel to LCD, so the frame rate was nearly 80 fps
- Teensy vs 1bitsy — Similar tact, different approach to debug options.
- KiCad files are in repo
- Where to find Piotr (and sometimes Gareth)
- black-magic.org
- 1bitsquared.com
- 1bitsy.org
