asciilifeform: kmalkki: so all we need is a collision to break the thing ?
asciilifeform: you add short polymer chains, they 'drag', so to speak, the water.
asciilifeform: the sea, lol, but apparently it is possible to 'lubricate' tapwater, reduces vorticing and friction loss. discovered in '70s in su, iirc, never used for anything.
asciilifeform: but no, i don't have access to any amd members-only whatevers.
asciilifeform: (or rather, that it was not in any of the public datashits.)
asciilifeform: kmalkki: i know that it is in the private one, yes.
asciilifeform: if you would like to post them publicly, send them pgp-encrypted to any of the folks here.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: i do not and will not sign any nda.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: but the other prong of this is your apparent discovery that new g-series boards disable hdt somehow
asciilifeform: so that folks do not need to rely on the extinct smartprobe and can make own debugger (the pinout is public)
asciilifeform: kmalkki: now more interestingly, hdt is simply a protocol on top of jtag, imho the main scientific interest in the smartprobe fw would be to extract the protocol.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: the stellaris arm also had jtag pins, handily brought out to pcb, as seen here, http://www.loper-os.org/pub/sage/test_points.jpg , i plugged it into a busblaster and eventually stepped through the execution from reset to where it checked the serial.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: ida happily eats the update payload.
asciilifeform: kmalkki: i received your find, it is very spiffy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kmalkki is an experimenter with sage/amd g-series/etc.
asciilifeform: 'PSP: The Cortex A8 running trustzone firmware, implemented from family 15h model 60h (Carrizo) and family 16h model 30h (Mullins) and up. It is running Trustonic TEE OS licensed by AMD. PSP Boot ROM runs *before* x86 core. Then non-bootrom PSP parts are stored (zlib-compressed) in the main flash. Bypass mechanism available via strap pin, but dummy and AMD signed bypass binaries needs to be always run. It is expected that newer CPUs
asciilifeform: i'd like to get their pubkey into phuctor, but it is in some peculiar format. (if somebody can discern a modulus in there, please write in.)
asciilifeform: 'AMD’s PSP is based around a single 32-bit ARM Cortex-A5, with its own isolated ROM and SRAM but has access to system memory and resources. It contains logic to deal with the x86 POST process but also features a cryptographic co-processor.' << they stuffed, finally, their 'fritz chip', into the g-series.
asciilifeform: trinque, shinohai , mircea_popescu , et al ^
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! pc engines 'apu2' (the board with the intel nics - vs. 'apu1', with realtek) , turns out, is crippled, hdt probe barfs with it, the cpu is reputed to have a drm fuse set.☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: PeterL: what is the logic in ' if hexmessage[-1] == 'L': ' ?
