- Alibaba is working on a homegrown chip based on the RISC V architecture
- More focus on RISC V is a small silver lining of the trade war.
- Russian chips from back in the day, 74 series
- RISC V from scratch
- Chris was on a 3M podcast talking about his excitement around RISC V and open toolchains.
- LCSC is getting investment, which means its less interesting as a point of insight into Chinese branded chips..
- Dave got back from celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch. He has been publishing videos over on his EEVdiscover channel.
- Aria tracking planes
- Dave and Chris did an episode while driving to Canberra to visit the DSN.
- You can listen and watch along the Apollo 11 launch in “realtime”
- Dave highly recommends watching the Apollo 11 movie at an iMAX.
What are the name of the newsletters? It sounded like JetIx Smartbrief and Woodstock Wireless.. but doing a search didn’t turn up anything electronics related.
In hindsight, and based on the scope of the USB effort, what would Dave had done differently? One of the earliest kickstarter projects I can remember is the Open-Source USB analyzer, “OpenVizsla”. I don’t think it was successful, but hopefully ViewSB managed to leverage some of it?
Hey Chris and or Dave, greatly enjoyed the episode. Can you elaborate on pros/cons of a VNA versus a Spectrum Analyzer with a Tracking Generator? For example, if you could only have one on the bench which would you choose for an “IoT” development project?
I picked up an iClever IC-JD31 power bank that uses USB-PD to get charged, charges USB-PD devices from the same USB Type C port, and also has USB Type A ports which support QC 3.0 to run my TS80. It also has a 12V barrel jack that I’ve used to power a fan to blow solder smoke away. I can’t vouch for what it looks like on the inside—the 800A 8L gas engine jump-starting spec begs the question. Might it power a uSupply someday?
What’s the name of the 50 odd cent SoC with Bluetooth in it? Thanks.
