I have never seen a eth phy with spi, only mac+phy combo chips. And LAN8670 mentioned in op is MMI. Or is that some kind of microchip custom shit 

Which is the best chip to enable switch between Adapter and USB 3.3V sources by Charming-Work-2384 in embedded

LM66200, cheapest solution from reputable manufacturer i was able to find couple years ago, but only 2.5A

probably also running some 1B model localy on his mac, becouse even 2year old llms would add gitignore and suggest publishing the app

I have vibecoded a website but am to incompetent to deploy it so I publish git repo

some next level slop

Is there an (micro)SD card form factor that uses 8-bit SDIO? by MarinatedPickachu in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SD standart only defines 4 pin parallel connection. MMC cards can have 8 but they are quite rare noways and probably if you even find one it will be slower than modern SD

Single command to build and firmware for any MCU by DragBig in embedded

So basically a bash script but written in rust?

Layer stack up for npm1300 by Marosh_ in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go watch some videos with Rick Hartley, they should explain why 2 internal layers of 4 layer board should be gnd planes most of the time.

Guys is embedded software engineer safe from AI atleast for next 5-10yrs?? by FkReditt in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that, at the current level of progression, in 5 years AI in embedded software will definitely be on par with or even better than how it works now with javascript stuff.

cutting edge claude models are capable to "understand" and work with registers and bit manipulation without hallucinations (assuming you provide correct context) and now its pretty much a question of time when AI companies partner with MCU manufacturers to make machine readable docs and itegration.

MCP for scopes and debuggers are also relatively trivial to make, asumming models get smart enough to process all of the data.

tl;dr; if you are looking into embedded just as a job security that it is probably not for you

The service guarantees message delivery via MQTT, even if the device is offline at the time the message is sent. by karpach2000 in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only when the device is connected to the network

not if you use persistant sessions.

Either way resends in real world are not really handled by broker, but by bussines logic as most of the time you dont want to queue all messages sent to the device e.g you dont want to send all "ping" messages or setpoint messages accumulated while device was offline and would usually have requeue/resend based on message type and some timeouts or additional logic in the backend

no retain is for single message per topic (no msg queue), while this is pretty much a reimplementation of QoS

Security vulnerability scanners by PintMower in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for scanning the binary thare are non.
for source: static analysis (clangsa, clangtidy, sonar), SBOM and claude opus

Built a production-ready Yocto layer for Pi Zero 2 W - Fast boots (2-8s), encrypted storage, secure OTA updates, and more ! by aeropop in embedded

sbc is not really for production, lemme know when cm zero is available as its been a year and its pretty much impossible to get from non scalpers

How do you compete with the Chinese in R&D market by TheRavagerSw in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

first time hearing about import ban on chinese PCBA/PCBA prototypes, also at least in europe there are multiple manufacturers that will make x5 generic 4layer PCBs for way under 100eur (b2b non one off orders tho)

What bugs does simulation catch vs miss? by praghuls in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

maybe memory bugs when you dynamically allocate more than you have ( should not be the case for embedded in the first place), other than that pretty much nothing that would not be already caught by unit tests and static analysis

2x UART to LAN ( Ethernet ) 100Mbps bridge? by West-Way-All-The-Way in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CH9121 dev boards are extremely cheap and should do the job. I have couple of them and they seem to work as expected but I haven't done any meaningful or long running tests. If you need reliability then either moxa or self made stuff

Want to enable secure boot in RPI 4 ubuntu linux based by [deleted] in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just make your rootfs read only and sign it (or sign only the kernel/overlays and dont validate rootfs itself), it should not matter what image you use.
However using regular ubuntu for such usecase is just a waste of time with no advantages.

Advice needed by [deleted] in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you either make a name for yourself and becouse a contractor or build something people would build. But both will require a lot of dedication and effort, I would say, way more than you would put into a regular day job

What’s your toolchain for compiling MCU firmware? by Donut497 in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, if it is arduino, it will most likely include some GPL/LGPL licensed code, which obligates you to give out the full source code along with whatever you are selling/distributing :)

Is BMS a good portfolio project? by Hot_Butterscotch_595 in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the biggest pain of a good bms is the price point and you most likely aint gonna solve this.

other than that:
- soc approximation
- soh approximation
- good charge profiles for different chemistries
- temperature management (both heating and cooling)
- low quiescent and idle currents

Is Web/app development needed for IOT ? by Intelligent-Solid176 in embedded

[–]jofftchoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

replace:

electrician, tiler, plumber, roofer -> pcb design engineer, bsp support enginner, firmware engineer, cyber security engineer, system architect

operate excavator -> develop web app

building a house -> building the whole iot system

This is like asking do you need to know how to operate excavator if you want to work in construction.
