Stopping Laserjet 5 jams. Thanks to a kit of new rollers. And detailed service manual from HP for my Laserjet 5M, it’s now printing without jams again! Should last another 100k pages now I hope. Note to self for next time – replace the upper feed roller before the lower one as the sprockets will be easier to engage with the drive belt that way around.). This entry was posted in Fixing.

A while ago I compared Altera and Xilinx’s ARM-based FPGA combos. More information is now available publicly, so let’s see what we know now…. One thing that’s hard to miss is that Altera are making a big thing of their features to support applications with more taxing reliability and safety requirements. And the entire processor subsystem has a silent data corruption rate of about 15 FIT. Not seen any FIT data for Altera yet. Both vendors have memory protection within the microprocessor section to stop e...

We’ve been having a bunch of building work done, and today we finally moved the TV back downstairs to the new room! And (the only piece of actual electrical materiel) a piece of choc-block. You can see the results in the picture – quality bodge or what :). Splicing coax in a mint tin. This entry was posted in Fixing. Stopping Laserjet 5 jams →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

FPGAs with hard ARM. Processors on them. Xilinx have even got a new product famliy name (Zynq) for them. The products are potential game-changers in some applications. The combination of a high-performance application processor (or two! I’ve trawled the publicly available information on both platforms (which is not overly detailed as yet) to see what I can glean. Altera: L1 2x32K per core, L2 512K shared, 64K RAM. USB OTG: Both have 2 ports. IIC: Xilinx have 2 on Zynq, Altera have 4. SPI: 2 on each.

Well, I’m “featured engineer”. Today I never expected to ever have my name featured on the same page as such luminaries as Bob Pease. To name but 4 of the “engineering household names” on that list! Covers some of my early (and later) engineering exploits (including explosions! This entry was posted in electronics. FPGAs and ARMs – a summary. One thought on “ Interview on EEWeb.

Parallelpoints.com is now running Squeeze. 60 as it’s more formally known). I’m not a full-time admin, so I greatly appreciated the Debian upgrade guide. 8211; it reminds you of all the stuff you have known in the past, but have “swapped-out”, and what tasks to do in what order. In particular, the kernel changes from Debian 5 to 6 were significant enough that a potentially unbootable system may have resulted. MYSQL broke during the upgrade – the.
