Hardware & Making
Moving with feelings: Behind the scenes of a one man show mobile & fiber operator in Spain
How to run an MVNO with values: What are the requirements? Do you need a government license, maybe a lot of investment? There are different types of MVNOs. We will talk about how to do business as an MVNO while respecting users' privacy, supporting free software, believing in the right to repair and making your customers technologically sovereign.
The issues with data privacy are being discussed more than ever. However, from the end user perspective, it is difficult to understand the full extent of the impact on their privacy when using well known "free" services or maybe acquired hardware like a vacuum cleaner or a cooking robot. On the other side, there are projects that demonstrate that they can do business respecting their users.
One way to start to take care of your privacy is by using free software, but this software needs to be high quality, easy to use for the end user, has to be documented in a clear way and has to resolve issues and bugs as fast as possible. This is very hard work for the developers, so their work has to be compensated.
Last but not least, the right to repair plays a big role for being technologically sovereign. It's as important to be aware of your privacy when using online services as it is to know how repairable and privacy-respecting hardware is before you buy it.
Can you fight for and support what you believe in while doing business?
I think so! Let's talk about it.

Many developers know that the answer to "How do I debug this microcontroller" is either "JTAG" or "SWD". But what does that mean, exactly? How do you get from "Wiggling wires" to "Programming a chip" and "Halting on breakpoints"? This talk will cover how common debug protocols work starting from signals on physical wires, cover common mechanisms for managing embedded processors, and ending up at talking to various common microcontrollers.

The 530 tons and 63 meter tall Ariane 6 rocket finally launched on July 9th 2024 carrying our open-source developed payloads – the SIDLOC experiment and the satellite Curium One – into space. SIDLOC tested a new, open, low-power standard for identifying and precisely locating spacecraft whilst our satellite Curium One established an open-source baseline for larger CubeSat systems and allowed us to test a bunch of new technologies. From sourcing a launch opportunity to the final integration ...

Recent breakthroughs in machine learning have dramatically heightened the demand for cutting-edge computing chips, driving advancements in semiconductor technologies. At the forefront of this progress is Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography—a transformative method in microchip fabrication that enables the creation of ultra-small, high-performance devices. However, the path from raw materials to these state-of-the-art chips navigates a complex global supply chain riddled with technical ...

Custom silicon chips are black boxes that hold many secrets, like internal ROMs, security features and audio DSP algorithms. How does one start reverse engineer them? Let's look at the basics of silicon reverse engineering, what gate array chips are, and how some tooling can generate Verilog code automatically from a die shot.
