Rolling up my sleeves.

I know I've been talking about this a lot here, so forgive me. I'm putting this out there in the ether so I feel even more obligated to accomplish the thing: I'm researching for the greatest codeproject.com article I will probably ever contribute. I will get these cheapo pi boards running xboot w/ LVGL, and spin my own hardware designs off of them, and I will produce an article on how to do it yourself. It's a long, arduous task, all this legwork, but it will be worth it. It will make me money, and more importantly, I will gain enough XP doing this to level up. This is the "smart" in smartphone technology, but without the operating system, the boot times, and a lot of cruft you often do not need. It's not quite Arduino, but it basically allows you to do something like Arduino on an Arm Cortex A53 based SoC, with HDMI, DDR3, and a bunch of other niceties. I'm making steady progress right now, and if I get lucky I may even have it booting tomorrow. Update: I have a bunch of stuff in place, but I'm getting device errors trying to flash the device.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I am looking forward to the weekly updates here! ...or why not a blog?
"If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"
It didn't occur to me, honestly.
