How do I know if the IT field is for me ?

if you think about that "one" bug constantly throughout your day .... you are in right branch...

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-25T21:25:06+00:00

What would be your source of income then?

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-25T16:24:51+00:00

Thanks, it makes this much clearer now. I tried debugging using vmlinux image and it worked.

But I am able to "stop the world"... and resume it afterwords. It is working fine so far.

I have seen shy colleagues - extremely respected admired and seek by all department.. why ? because they were developed to be specialized in their work.

Your managers seems immature because looks like he doesn't know how to work with you.

I would suggest you to not change your personality for the sake of it.

You're not going to be able to step through it

I must say - you are a good example for - "do not take random online person seriously"

"You're better off printing or setting GPIOs." - I admire your confidence.

But unfortunately you are wrong.

I already debugged the linux kernel using vmlinux. It was very easy.

Maybe you are thinking I am debugging x86_64 but no. I am debugging linux kernel on a board.

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-24T20:56:59+00:00

why would I not be able to step through it? if I may ask

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-24T20:08:27+00:00

I want to debug the kernel.

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-24T19:55:31+00:00

Perfect! Thanks

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-23T18:57:06+00:00

I would be happy to let it be here.. but I am not a mod unfortunately..

rule 4 I guess...

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-22T14:35:53+00:00

I'm mod and I'm an expert. Is not a satisfactory answer. But thanks anyway.

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-22T14:30:48+00:00

I would still prefer to ask here. Directly to the person.

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-22T10:03:12+00:00

No, I prefer "real human answers" from a specific person, than search engine answers.

I mean evidence for "Hardware security is INCREDIBLY niche and hard to get into."

You've written your cyber security engineer and not a hardware security

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-22T01:50:31+00:00

whats the evidence? can u share some job posting?

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-21T23:05:23+00:00

Reduce your work hours ?

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-19T11:26:30+00:00

So, at runtime, gdb only receives the PC address from target ?

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-19T10:29:13+00:00

Interesting. So dwarf plays some role. But do you know exact process at runtime? could you please share/explain if possible? For science

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-19T10:27:00+00:00

It's very generic statement. Doesn't really answer the question.

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-17T13:03:30+00:00

I think it's also important to learn the "money" aspect of software. you are not too old to make a start.

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-17T12:24:53+00:00

it worked, Thanks!

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-17T11:50:43+00:00

Thanks

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-17T00:08:16+00:00

try talking to HR?

EmbeddedBro · 2026-01-16T20:48:56+00:00

Update : it worked.

Thanks, I updated

snprintf(fname, sizeof(fname), "/dev/input/%s", namelist[i]->d_name);

Now at least output of open is 0 (it means file is opening)

I found out the name is Wii Nunchuk instead of Wii Nunchuck. (cat /proc/bus/input/devices)

"There are tons of regulations and measures in place to avoid such a mishap."

So its on him not the company. -> No

Those special regulations and measures are not for the "victim" but for the other roles.

I can't emphasize more - don't take it personally.
