Riscyforth: the work goes on
So after my last post somebody give me a “very poor” vote – I am consoling myself with the idea that was because they are really very keen for an assembly-based Forth to run on their RISC-V SBC and not because they thought it was an incoherent ramble. In any case I have continued to…

A moment of doubt?
I have been working on Riscyforth, my Forth-like language for RISC-V single board computers (SBCs) for seven months now. When I started there weren’t even any (affordable) SBCs available. Now there is one (which is really just an evaluation board) and the mass market is still not here – so it’s not as if I…

A RISC-V single board computer
I finally have a RISC-V based single board computer (SBC) – the Nezha from RV Boards shipped to me directly from China. It’s tiny (about the same form-factor as a Raspberry Pi though) and relatively expensive (it cost me just over £100 to order and get it shipped here) but whilst I was slightly concerned…

Raspberry Pi ideas wanted
Every week I teach a group of 9- and 10-year-olds some core programming skills using Scratch. The children seem to love it and I certainly enjoy it – it’s good fun to see them tackle the problems and find solutions: it really reminds me of the reasons, ongoing C++ debugging slog not withstanding, that I…

Situation normal, all fscked up
Why, oh why, oh why? … Hopefully someone will now tell me the rant that follows is unnecessary. But, here goes: an update of my Raspberry Pi failed about a week ago. As I then went to Paris with the family for a few days I only got round to trying to fix it this…

Help needed: what is making the wireless card on my Raspberry Pi crash
Here’s the syslog from my Raspberry Pi this morning: (The last line is the first output of the rebooted machine – when, at about 7.19am I got up and found it wasn’t working – not sure why the clock goes backwards but it does.) And here is yesterday’s log at the same time… As you…

Raspberry Pi stability issues
Now I am loading my Raspberry Pi with a fair few tasks – squid proxy, bridged wireless connection, samba server – I am having some stability issues. Essentially I am having to reboot it every day or so, as it seems to drop off the network. I run it headless, so I cannot tell exactly…

Raspberry Jam in London
Coming a bit late to this, but if you are a teacher (it seems tickets for 11 – 16 year olds have all gone) and have a Raspberry Pi and can get into London tomorrow (3 January) then this looks interesting… ‘Pizza and Pi’ Raspberry Pi Raspberry Jam meetup for 11-16s in London Thursday, 3…

Raspberry Pi as an ethernet to wifi bridge
So, here’s my account of how to set up your Raspberry Pi box as an ethernet bridge. First of all, for those wondering: what is a bridged connection? Essentially this is a “see through” way of extending your network – in a bridge software decides which packets get fowarded on to the next segment of…
