 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | ah | 15:26:40 |
 K900 | There's an entire EDK2 in there | 15:26:43 |
| K900 | It's extremely fun | 15:26:52 |
 alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | 👀 | 15:27:00 |
| K900 | (not) | 15:27:10 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | who even owns Qualcomm nowadays | 15:27:10 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | it does sound fun to poke at and reverse engineer tho | 15:27:19 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | what about reverse engineering that | 15:27:26 |
| K900 | No one | 15:27:27 |
| K900 | Qualcomm owns Qualcomm | 15:27:28 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | oh. you had the same idea 😭 | 15:27:35 |
| K900 | It's pretty well documented | 15:27:38 |
| K900 | It's also signed and non-replaceable | 15:27:49 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | i've been thinking about getting a lattice ecp5 risc-v fpga for analogue amateur radio control | 15:28:17 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | well, there's

| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | we had this discussion about FPGAs like, a few days ago with K900 | 15:29:01 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | idk | 15:29:03 |
| K900 | There's official Qualcomm docs for most of it | 15:29:06 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | what was the name of the open firmware project | 15:29:08 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | for them | 15:29:10 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | like | 15:29:28 |
| K900 | I assume you mean toolchain, that would be yosys | 15:29:28 |
| K900 | There is no "firmware" really | 15:29:33 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | FPGAs we talked about | 15:29:34 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | yeah | 15:29:38 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Toolchain | 15:29:40 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | yosys is the cute cat one? | 15:30:12 |
| K900 | (at least unless you're dealing with the FPGA-on-a-computer kind of SoCs that Xilinx makes and I don't think anyone else does) | 15:30:18 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | but yeah, Xilinix and Yosys seem interesting | 15:30:51 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | but their toolchain is entirely proprietary | 15:32:16 |
