GonkWare v0.49
We’re back! We went AFK last month to dive into the chaos of Hacker Summer Camp in Las Vegas. Now we’ve returned recharged, inspired, and packed with fresh ideas for future projects. Between DEF CON, presenting at BSides LV, and those late-night conversations at the Circle Bar, it was a massive knowledge dump and a…

Wake Up, Arty: The PHY is Calling
Previously on “Challenge Accepted: FPGA Ethernet Filters” I started this ambitious (to say the least 😆) journey, of building an FPGA-based network filter. I spent time understanding, debugging and wrapping my head around the whole setup and implementation, without realizing one simple and painful fact: the Ethernet physical connection was not working. My goal was…

Re-Vita-Lized
I don’t know who the hell started this “themed GIFs” thing in our blogs, but I’m pretty sure it was Izzny. If it was indeed me, I’m still pointing at Izzny. I didn’t have a great GIF theme idea for this one right away, but I also didn’t want to be the one to ruin…

Yeah…. That’s FPGA for me (or at least, it…
