A bit of #AnalogCable#ReverseEngineering today! This is a General Instrument 824-566-000 ANIC (Asynchronous Network Interface Controller). This box sits in the headend PC and converts SCSI (!) to asynchronous (Manchester coded 13.98kbaud) Jerrold DataChannel data. It's an embedded 286 PC...!
Tonight on Forbidden Cookery, it's amazing how many people think potting a circuit in resin will stop miscreants like me from pulling it apart. It's like putting a Masterlock on your bike and telling the Lockpicking Lawyer that it's impossible to break... #reverseengineering 🧵
One for the #electronics#reverseengineering folks. Can anyone suggest what this Toshiba microcontroller might be?
TA8821AP M-GIC 136-346-000.
Probably custom for General Instrument, but based on a standard part.
I sucessfully reverse engineered #WorldOfWarcraft 3.3.5a to fix the awful scaling of the damage numbers that was bothering me since ever.
Turns out, they have a flag called EGxStringFlags_FixedSize which wasn't used. It disables the scaling and makes the numbers appear a little smaller but crystal clear! Wohoo!
There's a part of me which loves old aircraft instrumentation. I was talking to a friend about a speech synthesizer ROM and on the same page was a ROM dump from a Sundstrand GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) system. I wonder if I can extract the sound?

In the new Rust Windows kernel GDI code, there is a new global allocator registered named gdi_alloc::Win32Allocator . It calls Win32AllocPool with a fun new pool tag name, "Rust"!
So this person went ahead and depopulated a Nintendo Switch Lite PCB, soldered a wire to each pad that had a component and then ran a program to determine what is connected to what. To make the result usable, they took a 6000dpi photograph and made the result available as a boardview file. I know nothing. https://usoldering.com/switch-lite/#pcb#reverseengineering
I'm not going to reverse engineer the LaserWriter Pro 810 firmware and figure out how to make it print burrito order sheets. I'm not .... #ReverseEngineering
I'm working hard on the Picamera2 driver for #Pyuscope. Most of the key controls are implemented now - I can enable and disable automatic exposure and white-balance.
Next job is to scale the gains and convert them to integers (Pyuscope can't deal with floats), and make them read-only when AE/AWB are on.
Colour temperature get/set is also on the planning board.

Hacking a Philips toothbrush head to allow you to use it beyond its normal lifetime. Yes, the toothbrush head is hackable. This is a fantastic tale of reverse engineering. Be sure to read the followup at the bottom of the article.
@verdre published his work about reverse engineering Android app support in Sailfish OS and bringing it to GNOME/Linux mobile. :android: :gnome: :linux: 📱
