Last week, I suspected that I might be seeing segmentation fault failures on my new AMD Ryzen 7 1700X computer. I dug into this some more this week, and learned a lot!
It has been quite an adventure over the last week. Iโm getting intermittent segmentation faults during my Yocto Linux image builds. Could it be a problem with my new AMD Ryzen 7 1700X CPU?
In Episode 24, I finished off my new build machine, successfully did a QEMU image build on it, and loaded an off-the-shelf Ubuntu image into my new MinnowBoard Turbot. This week, I tackled a MinnowBoard Linux image build using Yocto, loaded it into my MinnowBoard, and also set about doing a Yocto image build for the Portwell Neptune Alpha board. But I ran into some problems.
In Episode 23, I mentioned taking a short sabbatical, because my MinnowBoard USB ports stopped working, and my 7-year-old home PC build machine crashed. The good news is both of these issues are both fixed! Let the fun begin again.
Intelยฎ has announced the new family ofย 8th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, available for purchase beginning October 5, 2017. ASSET's SourcePoint has supported the 8th Gen (codenamed Coffee Lake) since earliest silicon.
This past week, I sat in on some workshops of the Open Compute Project (OCP) in Dallas, TX. There are a lot of exciting things happening in the world of open source hardware and software.
I was up in Chicago last week, attending the IEEE-sponsored AUTOTESTCON conference. ASSET demonstrated our ScanWorks boundary-scan test support of the Teradyne High-Speed Subsystem (HSSub).
We announced today the extended integration of ScanWorksโ boundary-scan test capabilities with the Teradyneโs PXI Express-based High Speed Subsystem (HSSub). Come see a demo at Booth #101 at the AUTOTESTCON conference!
