made me think of how sometimes i use ide "code folding" features to see just the first lines of a series of easily collapsable lists of text blocks

that's the part that made me want to post this article here :)

was thinking about how i've just replaced one of my usb chargers with one of those gan devices, but it's probably not going to last as long as a piece of iron with some copper wire wrapped around it

i want to mix this with https://github.com/LingDong-/shan-shui-inf to make a real-life infinitely scrolling procedural animation

Very interesting challenge. May need a slightly different tech. Stay tuned :-)

is there a way to forward usb/serial ports from my local machine to the dev container?

maintaining consistent firmware development environments using containers is a great idea, and current solutions involving proxying the compiled binary work well for flashing quickly, but switching back and forth between UART and Serial Debug is always more convenient when the IDE can handle it all

You mean forwarding to VSCode dev container?

If you are using Docker Engine directly on Linux, you can forward a device to a container via docker-compose `devices` setting.

If you are using Docker Desktop (or similar), there is no native way. However, there are ways to share USB devices via network (USB/IP is an open source implementation of this), in which case you setup server on host device (can be macOS/Windows/Linux), and then run a client software inside a container.

I've done linux/arm yocto development from VMs. The best solution to pass usb/serial was still VMWare the last time I had to.

VMWare has an excellent implementation of this which can selectively connect devices to the guest, and it properly remembers the action for each device you connect to your computer.

Not sure what your host OS is, if Linux, QEMU can pass usb devices to the guest.

Otherwise you could pipe serial over TCP

interesting, specifically I'm on a host Mac and trying to use the ESP IDF dev containers in VSCode (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/vscode-esp-idf-extension...)

will try again with sockets/TCP, thought i hit a roadblock after reading https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5263#issuecomment-7...

i think it might be related to the same breathing exercises some people do to control the vagus nerve, with the added help of some mild stimulants

slow breathe in (through some restrictor), small hold, then steady release

it was a package deal

the preceding minutes trawling logs, filling my head with events, and connecting all the dots is the unstable part i need to keep in my head

there's a scene in Arrested Development where Buster believes he's playing a airplane simulator video game, when in reality he was piloting drones for the Air Force the whole time

Are there any writeups of the pinout or hopefully the protocol?
