#verilog

Hey all! I'm due for an (re-)introduction: I'm Jack, an engineer in the NYC area from a firmware & cybersecurity background, currently working in something like hardware-software co-design.

Technical work is often with #rust #kicad #python #verilog #c, and in all-too-rare moments stuff like #haskell #forth #agda and #prolog

I've never been much for social media, usually preferring to keep interests local: a better-detailed #introduction to follow as I figure this out 🙂

Today's #AdventOfCode part1 was again a surprisingly fast success (anonymous variables in #perl ftw) in private leaderboard, but also weirdly easy which is _always_ a red flag for part2. I'll come back to that later, but meanwhile will make a hardware design for the number generator (#verilog), and will also have the 10yo learn how to solve it (#python). Thanks a lot to @ericwastl for not ruining Sunday with a 3d falling grid problem!

First steps completed on this years #AdventOfCode pure-hardware challenge (no processor, no software) solution: behavioural #verilog that solves both parts of day 1.
Next step is to implement a hardware bubblesort with registers and a counter, then will replace behavioural model by RTL. I'm not likely to actually get it working on an #fpga ... but I am stupid enough to try.
