Twenty years of my work with Arm architecture
Twenty years ago I bought Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 Linux PDA. With StrongARM SA1110 inside. And I had no idea how it will end…
2023 summary
In past years I was writing some kind of summary of previous year. In form of kind of timeline, with info about each month etc. Time to write something about previous year but in other form.
OPNsense is not for my router :(
For over two years my router is small x86-64 box running OpenWRT. But I have some issues with it.
Automating some of my personal projects
I have several personal projects which generate HTML table with some interesting data in it:
- AArch64 SoC features table
- AArch64 cpu cores information
- Linux kernel system calls for all architectures
- Arm BSA/SBSA checklist
Whenever I had to update them I did that by hand. Which had to end one day…
Testing *BSD on SBSA Reference Platform
SystemReady specification mentions that system to be certified needs to be able to boot several operating systems:
In addition, OS installation and boot logs are required:
- Windows PE boot log, from a GPT partitioned disk, is required.
- VMware ESXi-Arm installation and boot logs are recommended.
- Installation and boot logs from two of the Linux distros or BSDs are required.
All logs must be submitted using the ES/SR template.
In choosing the Linux distros or BSDs, maximize the coverage by diversifying the heritage. For example, the following shows the grouping of the heritage:
- RHEL/Fedora/CentOS/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux/Oracle Linux/Anolis OS
- SLES/openSUSE
- Ubuntu/Debian
- CBL-Mariner
- NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD
So during last week I went through *BSD ones.
SBSA Reference Platform update
There were several changes done since my previous post on the topic. So after some discussions I decided to write a post about it.
There are improvements, fixes and even issues with BSA specification.
Searching on a static website

JavaScript, WebAssembly…
Modern webdevelopment is completely other area than one I left 16 years ago. JavaScript is no longer language to animate menu or manage change of graphics when user taps on page. And there is WebAssembly when something more efficient is needed.
