  Project mention: How can you update the BIOS on a laptop (Acer Swift 3)? | reddit.com/r/linuxhardware | 2021-03-21

  If your system is supported, you can use fwupdmgr to update BIOS and all the other devices. I use it on my Dell and it work flawlessly. I suggest to always use the latest version available, because the ones from repos are often a bit old.

• MaixPy

  MicroPython for K210 RISC-V, let's play with edge AI easier

  

  Project mention: IMAGE PROCESSING | reddit.com/r/microcontrollers | 2021-01-29

  I've never used these, but you might check out the Sipeed MAIX Bit. It is designed for "AI at the edge" applications. They have a version of micropython that runs on it.

  1 480 3.9 C

  Easy AVR USB Keyboard Firmware and Keymapper

  Project mention: I buildt myself a macro-keyboard | reddit.com/r/electronics | 2021-02-25

  I recommend looking at EasyAVR and its use with custom boards. This may be easier than working through the Arduino IDE once you get the initial legwork done. There are lots of alternatives too, such as:

• yi-hack-MStar

  Project mention: Help, Filament run out warning after firmware update | reddit.com/r/AnycubicMegaS | 2021-04-02

  Help guys. Recently updated the firmware with davidramiro v1.4.6 Halfway through a 12 hr print, had a warning that the filament is out(even though it wasn’t ). When I resumed, the z-axis went all the way to the top and did not stop, had to turn off the power as it was crimping the hot end cables .

  Project mention: We are cybersecurity researchers who wrote a book teaching people how to hack the Internet of Things, called Practical IoT Hacking. Ask us anything! | reddit.com/r/IAmA | 2021-03-27

  We have a chapter on methodologies in the book and go into a lot of detail on how we test. We also created the free OWASP IoT Goat project - a deliberately insecure IoT firmware that you can use for a testbed.

• OpenSteamController

  2 259 0.0 C

  Steam Controller reverse engineering and customization project.

  Project mention: Any good switch support yet? | reddit.com/r/SteamController | 2021-03-17

  Although, that does remind me that the Steam Controller does let you modify its firmware. And greggersaurus did write some custom firmware to let you teach the Steam Controller how to behave like a Switch controller. USB only, though. And you'd lose the ability to use it as a Steam Controller with your PC until you flashed it back to stock firmware. And obviously you wouldn't be able to configure it dynamically like you would on your PC.

• qmkbuilder

  16 259 0.3 C

  Online GUI for QMK Firmware

  Project mention: speedrunning a handwired build | reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards | 2021-04-11

  And there's no software to load in general. Most use QMK and all you need is the hex file and then flash it to the Pro micro with QMK Toolbox. Can use kbfirmware.com in conjuction with http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ to save on time in terms of programming.

• yi-hack-Allwinner

  Project mention: Trouble connecting to an old Windows 10 Laptop | reddit.com/r/mpminidelta | 2021-03-06

  This page on the MPMD Marlin 1.1.X Wiki is probably useful.

• SuperGreenOS

  2 56 4.1 C

  🧠 SuperGreenOS home farming automation software for esp32, all in one package, and controllable from your smartphone, pc, mac, linux, toaster, plumbus, whatnot...

  

  Project mention: I stumbled on this thread a few months ago and loved seeing how small you guys could get grows. Inspired me to try to make a super small version of my enclosure to run a micro grow with my grow controller. 8x16 | reddit.com/r/NanoGrowery | 2021-04-12

  yeah we're using the esp32 too, works great. checkout https://github.com/supergreenlab/SuperGreenOSBoilerplate it's a boilerplate that does most of the boring setup job, also generates a clean admin interface:) The SGLOS is based on that.

• sonoff-hack

  2 45 8.3 C

  Custom firmware for Sonoff GK-200MP2B camera

  Project mention: Support for SONOFF GK-200MP2-B - Wi-Fi Wireless IP Security Camera | reddit.com/r/ispyconnect | 2021-01-14

  there's updated firmware for it here that adds an rtsp stream that Agent should be able to access: https://github.com/roleoroleo/sonoff-hack

• pinetime-hypnos

  1 45 6.9 C

  Zephyr firmware for the nRF52832 PineTime smartwatch

  Project mention: Open Source Smartwatch | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-01-02

  There is also https://github.com/endian-albin/pinetime-hypnos

  and the default https://github.com/JF002/Pinetime

  My guess would be that Wasp-OS will become the beginner-friendly fully-featured option while Pinetime will be the more battery friendly option.

• SuperGreenOSBoilerplate
