Marc's Public Blog - Linux Hacking

I gave a couple of talks this year:

I also had fun at the Open Hardware Miniconf 2020: Dingo Car with Tensorflow Video Analysis v2

I met Chris and Jon for dinner before the conference:

Chris had a fancy wheelchair enhanced with Jon's improvements

Then came time for the conference:

I much enjoyed a very cool talk on emulating old game consoles in an FPGA

took a lot to run those video consoles back then, lots of it was RAM

there was no framebuffer, sprites and backgrounds were rendered real time during CRT gun scans

backgrounds were rendered fro a bunch of tiles to same RAM

Random talk slides:

great to have Bunnie back

Nice to see the usual people again:

of course I 'need' an ESP32 watch :)

this one is cute too

Nice dinners as usual:

I brought my new LED outfit

And just like this, it was conference close, where we we told to guess where the next conference would be:

it'll be back in Canberra a 3rd time

Jon Oxer won the Rusty Wrench award this year, and it was well deserved

After an ice cream social, the conference was over.
