The threat of nuclear weapons accidents isn’t a new one. Even in 1945, Los Alamos physicists sweated when contemplating all that could possibly go wrong with their bombs, if they went off at the wrong place or the wrong time. Or didn’t go off at all. That’s the bind, really: a nuclear state wants a weapon that always goes off exactly when you tell it to, and never goes off any other time. ...

Fun with CSF firmware (RK3588 GPU firmware)

Those of us who have been trying to make use of the "v10" Mali GPUs from Arm, such as the Mali-G610 in Rockchip's RK3588 will surely have noticed by now the requirement of firmware—kbase requires mali_csffw.bin to be present in one of the firmware directories (such as /lib/firmware) for the GPU to be usable. The firmware runs on a microcontroller inside the GPU and handles many ...
