from Chaos Computer Club - recent audio-only feed · host jn
A while ago, I found a curious little processor and starting reverse-engineering it. Join me as I retell my journey through the Amlogic Video Decoder, from staring at bits over running hand-written instructions, to my own emulator and architecture manual.
