zephyr VS vopono

Hey folks. Anyone out there waiting for BT Auracast? It was announced June 2022, and immediately struck me as must have.

I lost my earbuds, but it seems ridiculous to get a replacement without Auracast, seems like surely if I'm going to make a decent sized purchase like that it needs to support group playing. I want to tune into the radios of other people on the metro or on the bus, want to be able to watch a movie on the plane with someone.

Auracast was announced in June 2022. Anyone else out there struggling with expectations here? I'm really hoping the product announcement season that's right around the corner had a good number of Auracast announcements.

Side note, a ton of it is over my head but it's been so so fun tuning in every once and again to see how Zephyr's Bluetooth Audio work is going. Just wild now much has gone into this! https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commits/main/subsys/bluetooth/audio

I am working on adding support for VisionFive 2 in Zephyr RTOS. I have created a device tree by referencing the starfive linux, patches of hifive_unmatched FU740 SoC and patches of BeagleV Starlight.

We are unsure on how to proceed further with this error. We have opened a github discussion regarding the same issue.

Then there are samples. Look through it for anything useful. RC522 uses SPI, so getting that to work would be a good first step.

Hey, I've been trying to build an app with cmake+ninja instead of west to integrate it into a larger build system and everything works correctly except for the final stage where it uses `/usr/bin/llvm-objcopy` instead of the `${CROSS_COMPILE}` one it tries to find here.

Zephyr has a lot of good points, but I really wish it didn't use Kconfig. Getting a working config seems to be mostly a matter of copying an already working example. It might be okay for hardware side of things, but it's a really bad at software/feature dependency.

Set https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/build/kconfig/tips.htm... and the issue: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/52575. And don't even get me started on trying anything to group options together.

In this thread u/ikravets explained that there hasn't been much demand for Zephyr, which is why they aren't doing anything with it, and in this pull request Zephyr decided to no longer recommend PlatformIO in their documentation.

The answer is always in the source: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/bdaac354f4cb0ad91d952c2f6941c16240d84da2/subsys/tracing/tracing_backend_ram.c

Vopono (https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono):

"vopono is a tool to run applications through VPN tunnels via temporary network namespaces. This allows you to run only a handful of applications through different VPNs simultaneously, whilst keeping your main connection as normal.

vopono includes built-in killswitches for both Wireguard and OpenVPN."

I think for now on Linux you (still!) have to use external application to do the splitting. Such is vopono

I use vopono to manage it for me with Mullvad though.

you might want to check out vopono, i've gotten it working with firefox and its nice

I highly recommend using something like vopono with this on Linux that runs only the target application (e.g. Transmission) in a network namespace in the VPN and only forwards the specified ports and only allows traffic via the VPN.

This is why I use vopono - you can run just the torrent client in the VPN on its own and the killswitch keeps it safe.

You can find the option in the settings of windows and android apps. Unfortunately, it's Still not available for Linux. As a workaround for Linux, you can use vopono, which has OpenVPN support for Proton. Or just manually add routing table entries :)

I wrote vopono, I use it all the time for quickly spinning up browsers through different VPNs for checking geographical restrictions, etc.
