/whois christopher.pepe

i am an software engineer by day and embedded hacker by night. no electronic device is safe when i am around. The JuiceBox, GeePee2x, iPAQ, and countless others have met similar fates. No part to small too solder (except BGA)... When I am not hacking existing products I like to make new ones.

In my haxorizing I strictly work with open source linux based tools (I don't have a Windows box, need to borrow a Mac, and don't have money for expensive tools) for building (gcc, make and the like), probing (jtagtools/jtager), interacting (minicom). When I can I build my own tools like my jtag wiggler (ok it's not that tough to build...). Half of my tools are hacks themselves, probably should post them as well.

I've been seen on Makezine and similar blogs for some of my projects like an incredibly simple flashlight that I build one evening. However at present I am smitten with the blackfin DSP from Analog Devices. I do a lot of work with uClinux in my professional and private life and have shared some of it here.

In 2006 I was married to the lovely and talented Elizabeth Lewis . She is a physician assistant student at Duket. She is smart, funny, and the perfect sanity check for me.

Languages

  • C/C++
  • Python - absolute favorite
  • Perl
  • Bash

while i know others and can pick up new languages as needed I am not as well versed in them as I am in the above. i've played with expect, javascript, php but i wouldn't say that i know them.

Arch

  • ARM (9/Xscale, some 7)
  • Blackfin BF537, BF532
  • AVR (ATmega32, ATtiny26)
  • PIC (16f84a, 16f628a) - I haven't used PICs for a while since the AVR has better OSS support
  • x86 (who hasn't?)
