Now I just need to learn Mandarin!

seriously? ;) just messing with you Shao. Open source anything is a gaping security hole. But that's not on you.

Agreed. Which is why one qualifies a specific version of the project, and disables "auto update" in one's build process. (To say nothing of the marvelous "backward compatibility" built in to many OSS projects /s)

Well, I hit pay dirt. XBoot is a little piece of firmware that is just enough code to run the AllWinner H3 SBC GitHub - xboot/xboot: The extensible bootloader for embedded system with application engine, write once, run everywhere.[^] I can use it to avoid having to run linux or android on the thing, and cut my space down to a couple of megabytes, rather than a gigabyte or so. Boot time is 1.5 seconds vs as much as a minute. Unfortunately it's almost all in Chinese. Here's the English portion:
It very tedious that we need careful read soc datasheet when operate GPIO on soc.We always repeat working when changed the soc.its almost almost impossible to We want develop a UI that support all kinds of magic motion.Stacks of protocols are like heavenly books ,it Reading is very hard , How do we program? Virtual machine technology is very popular and it function is powerful,but it very difficult to transplant it.so we build the Xboot.it can help us deal with these problems. XBOOT is not only a powerful, portable, and highly reusable, embedded system bootloader,but also on a piece of SOC system application software execution engine, without complex operating system, electricity directly executed on the APP。"Once written, running everywhere." It not just a slogan,but also the only reason for the existence of XBOOT.
So this should be fun.

you don't need to learn Mandarin. just put these documents into Google translation and you may get good translations...

A mathematician's solution - you've reduced the problem to one you couldn't solve earlier. :evil grin:

yeah, but don't you end up with cables all over the floor? What do you do for cable minimization/management/flexibility? My daughter is a designer, and I've been working with her - specifically arguing. My office is a reconstituted dining room circa 1989. Since I had a huge family, we called it a joke. So I have two doors, and i love them two windows to let in the breeze. It's an interesting design challenge. After all these years on CP, I think I'm going to write an article. :)

I have cables all over the floor. :) The most I do, is I leave cables attached to that hub where they're ready if I need them, and (at least some) not on the floor. You know what I've done? I used a closet hanging rod to hang my cables. You could do similar with a curtain rod or something. It's ugly, but functional.

Get power strips that clamp to the back of your desk and cable management trays you can hang off the back edge. Your desktop will still look like someone bombed a spaghetti factory, but you should at least be able to vacuum without worrying about destroying everything.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

It works until you start getting technical. And then it gets questionable.

Even for non-technical stuff Google/Bing translate are still awful at Chinese-English translations. Their frequent inability to get concepts like 'yes' vs 'no' or 'I will' vs 'you will' right a large fraction of the time make them problematic even for casual gaming use; never mind anything technical. Sadly it's not even close to what modern translators can do going from Germanic or Romance Languages to English; it's closer to what you'd get trying to do those translations with babelfish ~25 years ago. Japanese to English is similarly awful. Vietnamese to English was surprisingly much better. Maybe MS and Googles legal depts banned using fan translations from manga and anime as training material but were OK with scans of 50 year old war documents; or maybe Vietnamese just lacks whatever language feature causes the translators to faceplant when trying to deal with their neighbors to the north. :confused:

I suppose your definition of "good" differs a bit from mine.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Cable management has always been an issue - looking at two 10 port USB hubs, 4 switches, 4 development systems, etc... My office furniture is a solid oak banker style desk and credenza that I picked up years ago for 10 cents on the dollar. But it really doesn't play nicely for engineering projects - I just made it work.

are you certain it is not Cantonese ? it is a shame Dr. Richard Feynman is no longer with us to assist w/ translation .

I'm not. I'm just playing the odds. Although that's spoken. All the stuff is written in "Chinese (Simplified)" whatever that means.
