Hardware and firmware developer based out of India, working remotely. Love to work with early-stage companies to turn prototypes/ideas into well-formed products.

Neat!

In the hardware world, we use the abbrevation BOM (bill of materials) frequently.

Needless to say, we use the full "Bill of materials" phrase when anyone on the call is at the airport or travelling in general.

I am working on https://embedhub.com

I am building better dev tools for firmware and PCB developers.

For example, we have GitHub Action workflows that allow you to push builds to the connected EmbedHub project. Your EmbedHub project has fine grained release management - so for example only the git tagged releases will be shared with the customer, but the testing/QA team will get access to builds from regular commits on branches as well.

I am also building a physical device (called HAL) similar to the now discontinued EtcherPro[1] - which will connect to your EmbedHub account and have access to your releases. This will let you offload tasks like long term testing, mass flashing and provisioning of devices, and more.

Feature request - how to make sticky rice to go with Asian curries?

It's an early prototype - so there's still plenty of work left on the optimization front. This particular thing you mentioned is because of misconfigured UI generation tool which creates 2 separate screens when it doesn't need to.

There's USB on the upcoming version - and it's a Linux based device too :)

It's a lot more capable than the current version - but from the outside it's almost the same size and shape.

- Denser display with full color range (current one is monochrome)

- USB support

- Cellular modem built-in (WiFi isn't always available in stores, shopkeepers mostly end up using phone hotspots. It will still have WiFi though)

- Speakers

Components are from China - everything is assembled in India (Bengaluru). It's probably impossible to manufacture with locally sourced components in India in 2023(especially displays, processors, memories).
