• Machines build machines - AI creates a bootable VM

  Posted on:May 17, 2025 |  at 10:00 AM

  See how AI is pushing the boundaries of computer engineering. I'm sharing my journey driving AI to build a functional RISC-V 32-bit VM simulation, reaching the milestone of booting OpenSBI. Discover the process behind this AI-assisted journey and what's next on the path to a fully bootable Linux kernel and potentially an FPGA implementation.

• Making my first embedded Linux system

  Posted on:June 15, 2024 |  at 11:00 AM

  End-to-end documentation of a journey from no PCB experience to fabricating my own Linux-ready system that can boot the latest mainline kernel. This article is the recommended reading for someone building their first embedded Linux board. F1C100s SoC is used for this sample board.

• Make your own USB storage device using embedded Linux
