In my recent post on the PSA Crypto API, I demonstrated the use of the API on two different MCUs: the nRF52840 and the ESP32-S3. In the case of the former, the ECDSA signature operation was eventually executed in a closed source library that manages communication between the Arm Cortex-M4 processor and the Arm TrustZone CryptoCell 310 security subsytem. Readers that ventured down the rabbit hole of links in the post may have noticed that there are variants of the nrf_cc310_mbedcrypto libraries for hard-float and soft-float.

The video game industry is in a state of chaos. Layoffs, buyouts, studio closures, mergers—the entire industry seems plagued. Except for Nintendo. The Japanese video game giant is over one hundred years old, and since they dominated the home console market in the 80s, they’ve been generally unwavering in their success, and all without succumbing to the pitfalls of other game companies. But they’re also tremendously secretive, operating with very little behind-the-scenes publicity and deploying their massively innovative games with relatively little lead-up. This week, Adam talks games with Keza MacDonald, a video game editor at The Guardian. Her new book, Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play, takes a look behind Nintendo’s curtain of secrecy to show how this company has been able to innovate and surprise for so long. Find Keza's book at factuallypod.com/books

Although we usually deal with old computers around these parts, today’s project comes to us from the futuristic year of 2021. What makes it interesting? You can’t buy it at your local store. Or any store, really. Today, we’re going to be getting a salvaged Loongson 3A5000-based motherboard up and running, and figuring out how good Linux is on a domestic Chinese CPU.
