I have a SolidRun MACCHIATObin Single Shot, and you can build and use UEFI on it. This involves compiling code from a variety of repos, one of those being mv-ddr-marvell. To do this, I made a git repo full of helper scripts. I don’t use the dev board much anymore, and it is mostly there to possibly help others build the collection of firmware that results in the image that I burn onto a microSD card....

For me, my right hand and wrist can start to hurt after using a normal mouse, or even an ergonomic mouse with a bad scroll wheel. Finding Human Interface Devices (HIDs) that don’t trigger my RSI has always felt like a losing battle full of compromise....

Preface This blog post assumes: The user is familiar with: Travis-ci Docker (or podman/buildah) Git Github The user has an account with: Travis-ci Github Quay For those unfamiliar with the above, here are some resources Introduction I prefer using Quay.io as my container registry instead of Dockerhub, and as such, I had to learn how setup Travis to push to quay.io. This is something I hadn’t done before, as I’ve only recently started making my own container images....
