There are a few ways to do it for Xilinx/AMD For Zynqs, the processor actually programs the programmable logic, so you just need bit files in the OS file system and your good to go. For any part there is also partial reconfiguration where small bits can be programmed with alternate partial bitstreams without reconfiguring the whole device. There are a bunch of conditions that have to be met, and I don’t have any experience with that style of design, but yep, self reconfiguration, at leas on Xilinx parts, is definitely a thing.

Not just my job, but the entire industry I’m in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don’t like it. My skill-set isn’t very transferable either.
I’ve sucked it up for 10 years, and I have enough in savings for several years. The work itself is fine, its more of the context of the work. If its not something new to me it feels like busywork and I don’t really see the point. I’m really not sure what I want to do. I have a personal project I’m working on, that I think I could make money, but I don’t know if after I’m done with the interesting technical challenges if I want to see it through. There are several jobs that on the surface seem to agree with me, but I don’t know if the reality would work out. I could more easily suck it up if I at least felt fulfilled, or that I did something positive, but I don’t get that feeling.
I might not mind it as much if I was physically closer to my family, but I’m over 600 miles so its a 12 hours trip to see them. they live 2.5 hours from the closest major airport so flying commercial is not faster.
The problem is with my skill-set is without having an idea for my own company, I can either work for big tech, or defense contractors. Neither are appealing to me.
My degree was what seemed like fun. At the time I didn’t think of any long term implications. I still think the details could be fun if it was a novel challenge. But yea, my personal philosophy doesn’t really align with my work.
Wile working for my previous employer, the people around me were amazing, the organization and high level leadership, not so much. Myself and many co-workers left within about 6 months of each other. My old boss is leading a new field office for a different company in the city, and many of my previous coworkers are still working for him. I’ve been lucky about good direct reports. I hate any meetings that are not technical; I find them draining and pointless. Blind obedience to the agile development process can go die in a hole.
Skill sets take years, you get pigeonholed pretty fast. Major changes to skill sets take years and can cost a bit of money. Pretty much the only companies that would want my skill set are companies that I wouldn’t want to work for.
Funny you mention a doorbell; I used 3 pi-0ws (front door, back door, chime) to make a wireless doorbell for my parents. No video or notifications, just a remote chime. That was a fun project.
Hope it all works out for you in the end. I’m in a financially good enough position I have the freedom to make big changes if I want. Being a residential electrician was on my consideration list, but the length of time before being able to do it on my own pushed it down a few places.
I have the nack I find what I do trivial and easy, but the people around me think I’m amazing at what I do. If its not a challenge, I find it hard to concentrate or do a good job. I’m missing the suck it up and just do it skill. It would be okay if I at least thought I was doing something positive, but I find it all pointless.
I don’t have any floaters yet, but sitting in the backyard watching birds sounds amazing.
Those might exist, but the big players are all focused on the government work. It wouldn’t surprise me if the avionics in a commercial Boeing plane are the same as the military with a few bits removed.
Its not that its hard, it just takes time and money. And the last thing I want is to invest time into another thing I end up hating. For now, I have a website I’m trying to build.
and I will not be going. Its the time of year for the local convention. I’ve though about going a few times, but I probably wouldn’t talk to anyone, or go to anything, so I don’t see the point.
Its interesting how much reading only 1 comment vs the thread changes meaning so much. The disappointment was due to the inability to go, not actually going. Depending on where I end up, I might try to make more of an effort in the future. If I decide to launch my website, I’ll probably try to go to a lot to get the word out.

I don't like my job

How are you?
How are you doing? Anything you want to brag about? Rant about? Just shout into the void?
