This website would be a lot more helpful of each definition wasn't circular...

"A Digital Media Render plays content from a Digital Media Controller"

"A Digital Media Controller commands Digital Media Renders to render media"

etc.

Mutually recursive definitions aren't so illogical as they first seem. :) Besides if you look at the complete sentence, it's much more clearer:

These devices play content received from a digital media controller (DMC), which will find content from a digital media server (DMS).

Making STM32WL55 work with Rust I recently got my hands on a STM32WL55 development kit (NUCLEO-WL55JC2 to be more precise) and wanted to program it in Rust. Since things did not work out of the box and I had to spend many hours figuring out how to make it work, I thought I document the steps I took to make it work for the next person who bumps into this: Pre-requisites STM32CubeProgrammer probe-rs target-gen Note: The target-gen docs instruct how to run it from the repository but it's not necessary and you can install with cargo install target-gen . Getting Started Powering up the board is super easy. Just connect the USB cable to the board and your computer. Now if you're as eager as I was, you'll want to already want to try out the lora-rs examples but if you do that already, you'll get an error: ❯ cargo r --bin lora_p2p_receive Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.07s Running `probe-rs run --chip STM32WL55JC ...

Welcome to the virtual world!

About two months ago I informed  the followers of this blog that I will now be working on SPICE project  for Red Hat . Judging from the questions I was asked after that, I realized that not many people know about SPICE so I thought I write at least one blog entry dedicated to explaining what SPICE is all about. Before I get to SPICE itself, let me first introduce you to the world SPICE lives in. Virtualization and Virtual Machines (VMs) For some reason, I feel that I should leave the definitions to wikipedia  and only quote it so that is what I am going to do: " Virtualization, in computing, is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system, a storage device or network resources. " " A virtual machine (VM) is a "completely isolated operating system installation within your normal operating system".Today, this is implemented by either software emulation or hardware virtualization ".

zbus and Implementing Async Rust API

Image
zbus As many of the readers already know, for the past (almost) 2 years, I've been developing a Rust-crate for D-Bus, called zbus . With this being my first big Rust project to start from scratch done almost entirely in my spare time, the progress was rather slow for many months. My perfectionism didn't help much with the progress either but also the fact that implementing a Serde API for the D-Bus format was quite challenging. Then along came my old friend and ex-colleague, Marc-André Lureau who sped up the progress 10 times and soon after we had the 1.0 release of zbus. While my original plan (perfectionism again) was for the API to be primarily async, with the synchronous API mostly just a wrapper around it, it was Marc-Andre who ended up doing most of the work and coming up with nice high-level API and his use case was primarily synchronous so we decided to go with synchronous API first. I still believe that was the right thing to do, since neither of us were fam...
