Оптимальный выбор файловой системы и создание драйвера для OSPI Flash с GitHub Copilot
Файловая система во встраиваемых решениях — критическое звено. От её выбора зависят надёжность, детерминированность и задержки всей системы. В типичном устройстве она обслуживает запись сигналов, ресурсы для дисплеев и аудиовоспроизведения, логи, файлы веб‑интерфейса, образы прошивок и многое другое. На практике всплывают одни и те же проблемы: дефрагментация, высокое потребление RAM, плохая детерминированность (плавающие задержки), неустойчивость к сбоям записи/питания и низкая скорость. Нередко корнем оказываются драйверы из SDK производителей чипов: они не оптимизированы для многозадачной среды и часто недоработаны под OSPI. Я протестировал четыре файловые системы на платформе MC80 с внешней OSPI NOR Flash и разработал специализированный драйвер вместо стандартного из FSP — с полноценной поддержкой OSPI и RTOS.

Focus on what you CAN do, not what you CAN’T
In these past few weeks it seems that there were so many horrible things happening that just making a list of them feels overwhelming and exhausting. Some of the decisions of the current U.S. government have an impact on the global level, others hit people personally, some of whom are close friends. And then, there are those who seem to target the very core of our profession, like the shutting down of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the termination of grants already awarded by the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH).
It is hard not to lose all hope in this climate. And yet, aren’t we, as museum professionals, used to things not really looking pretty? Haven’t we battled budget and staff cuts before? Haven’t we brought uncomfortable truths in front of the eyes of our visitors and politicians before? Maybe the current crisis is not comparable to what we were confronted with before. But just as well, we are well trained in going against adversarial circumstances.
We have always done so with resilience, creativity, and, most of all, a sense of community. We might be spread out across the world and we might have spread ourselves thin by taking on too many responsibilities, but we are not alone. I have reached out to my network over the past few days to check in on some people, see how they are coping, and getting ideas of what can be done, because, in the end, focusing on what can’t be done never made anything better.
Turns out that John E. Simmons had already started collecting what can be done to prepare for what is coming at us in something we registrars love: A list.
I contributed a few of my thoughts to it and we also asked some more colleagues to add to it. What I am posting here today is by no means a comprehensive and finalized list of what to think about and what to do, but it is a start. Feel free to add more ideas in the comments section, just like we enhance it going forward.
What Can We Do?
1. Apply the lessons that museums learned from Covid
- A museum should have a plan for suddenly shutting down or having to reduce staff for a prolonged long period of time.
- The plan should include cross-training for all staff so that a reduced staff can keep the institution functioning and care for the collections. Every staff member should be trained to do tasks that are normally not part of their duties so that they can help in the event of a prolonged emergency.
- The plan should include what the museum can do to remain a destination for visitors during a crisis. This might include regulating the number of visitors in the museum at the any one time during a pandemic, reducing or eliminating admission fees for visitors during a prolonged financial crisis, and how responsibilities could be handled by a reduced staff. It is worth noting that a recent study revealed that art museums that charge admission spend an average of $100 per visitor but attract smaller audiences than free museums, and that there are costs associated with collecting admission fees that may not be recovered by the fee. Details can be found at https://news.artnet.com/art-world/us-museums-visitors-report-2622358).
2. Prepare the collections for long-term, low maintenance storage by preparing the most sustainable and passive storage environment possible:
- Improve the effectiveness of the collection storage furniture, containers, and supports to protect the collections (e.g., replace gaskets on doors, eliminate acidic materials, reduce lighting and UV in storage).
- Keep the collection in order (each object in its proper place in storage) at all times (do not allow a backlog of out-of-place objects to build up).
- Improve environmental controls and environmental monitoring procedures.
- Maintain storage environment equipment in good order (e.g. replace filters, service equipment regularly, replace aging HVAC systems).
3. Protect the databases
- Make sure that you have a fully up-to-date, readable copy of all important museum databases stored somewhere outside of the building, preferably in a hard format as well as electronic.
- Make sure that both on-site and off-site databases are protected so they cannot be accessed by unauthorized personnel. Renew passwords and other project on a frequent, regular basis.
- If the institution is forced to close, and you have a good backup copy, consider removing databases from the museum servers to protect confidential information.
- When possible look into storing backup copies of your databases that are not only readable in a proprietary format of one vendor (who might be forced to hand your sensitive data over or might go out of business). If you database allows for it, export your important data as SQL tables or as comma separated values (.csv). Excel formats such as xlsx, xls, or ods are fine, too.
- When possible move your sensitive data to trusted servers outside the U.S. that don’t belong to U.S. based companies who might be forced to hand your sensitive data over or delete your data. (This one is of course controversial, but at this point I wouldn’t trust AWS for example)
- As a rule of thumb: make access to your data for your trusted staff as easy as possible, but make deleting data from your database hard by setting up a robust rights management and whenever possible enable procedures to revert to earlier data entry points.
4. Update the institutional emergency preparedness plan to include procedures for coping with sudden, prolonged shutdowns of the building.
5. Stock up on critical supplies
6. Download anything needed from federal websites (such as the NPS Museum Handbook and Conserve O Grams or IMLS reports) immediately, while the information is still available. Store this data in a safe place that is only accessible to authorized personnel and make deleting those resources as hard as possible.
7. Keep in mind that most serious problem going forward will probably not be the cuts in federal funding to the NIH, NEA, NSF, IMLS, etc., because most of this money goes to projects which can be postponed or funded by other sources (such as donations). The most serious problem will be the lack of funds resulting from damage done to the economy due to a combination of the rising deficit, increasing unemployment (e.g., the mass reductions in the federal workforce and corresponding loss of jobs in sectors that serve the federal workforce), and decreased tax revenues due to tax cuts for the wealthy, tariffs on imports, and cuts to social services. In other words, the predicted problems with the US economy are far more likely to be a bigger problem for museums than the loss of federal grant funds.
Words of Cheer:
- Museums existed long before the IMLS and other federal granting agencies, so they can survive this period, although many worthy projects and much research will be halted unless alternative funding can be found.
- With preparation, museums can survive the coming crisis as they have survived other crises. There will be staff reductions and loss of opportunities, but with any luck, the situation will change within a few years.
- Take a good look at your policies and procedures and investigate new laws and executive orders you are confronted with. Laws that are passed in a great hurry often contain contradictions and loopholes. Often asking for clarifications by authorities can slow processes down and work to your advantage. Often stalling a process in good faith can be much more effective than open opposition which puts you and your staff at risk.
- Be prepared to be patient. Lawsuits and judicial decisions challenging the proposed changes will take time to go through the courts.
- In the longer term, climate change and its effects on museum operations, the economy, and the behavior of the public is the greatest challenge to the future of museums, so the present crisis should be used to prepare for the future.
Best Advice:
If your institution does not have a plan for long-term survival during a financial crisis, the next pandemic, or climate change, get busy now to correct this deficit.

Nguyễn Thị Bình (born 26 May 1927), also known as Madame Bình & Mother of Vietnam, is a South #Vietnamese #revolutionary leader, #diplomat & #politician. She became internationally known for her role as the #VietCong (NLF)'s chief diplomat & leading its delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. She later served in the government of reunified Vietnam after the Fall of Saigon & became the country's Vice President in 1992. She is the first woman in Vietnamese history to be appointed a cabinet minister.
Nguyen Thi Binh was the only woman to sign the Paris Agreement on Ending the War & Restoring Peace in Vietnam on 27th January 1973. South Viet Nam was liberated on 30th April 1975 & the two parts of Vietnam were finally brought together in 1976 as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
In her memoirs, she said: “My own life, in concert with the life of our nation, has helped me understand that seizing political power and demanding independence were extremely difficult, particularly when opposing colonialists and imperialists. However, maintaining political power and building a nation…is much more difficult.”
At Hanoi Peace Conference in November 2022, she stated:
“Having suffered numerous sacrifices, pain and loss during decades of struggle against foreign aggression and for peace, independence and freedom, the people of Vietnam deeply appreciate the value of peace,” she told those gathered. Warning that the danger of wars, including a nuclear catastrophe, is greater than ever before, she stressed the vital importance of “rallying and uniting peace forces and movements” to halt aggression and build a world of peace and justice for all.

I’m an #Insomniac Have been for years. Have loads of bad habits like picking my phone up if I awaken. Afternoon naps at weekends. #Audible sometimes help me drift off again and I’ve recently discovered a love for #WinnieThePooh stories, particularly when read by #AlanBennett The dark hours are when my mind goes into overdrive and #ImposterSyndrome lurks in the shadows. The white noise of my cat’s purr sometimes helps. It’s hard.

Loving all things #AlanBennett right now. Falling asleep to his audible version of Winnie the Pooh got me started but his #TalkingHeads writing is new to me and stops me in my tracks plus Patricia Routledge is such a talent.

Tonight: wildly dark, almost sinister Irish folk drones from Lankum side project One Leg One Eye. Sparse vocals, traditional instruments, and deep electronics and synth. Littlefield is literally trembling. It's a mood, for sure. Heavy.

Pier 57, Crane Barge. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A crane barge docked next to Pier 57, Manhattan.
Manhattan’s Hudson River waterfront fascinates me. It is a busy place with lots of vehicle traffic, but many facilities along the shore have been and are being transformed. Old piers fall into ruin, others are converted to new purposes. New structures extend the city over the water. I made this photograph at one of those new places, the “Little Island.” It seems to grow organically from the water, and it houses a busy little park with enough elevation to provide good views of the surroundings...continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2023/12/29/pier-57-crane-barge/

Not overly keen on the new ped cycle bridge in Little Island (second screenshot)
It doesn't benefit those living and working to the east and south of the place
The original version which landed you outside the Radisson hotel and skirted around it was better

Had an epiphany yesterday while working on settings storage on the #MIDISID custom firmware.
I was having trouble getting littlefs working on the RP2040 in #TinyGo and it suddenly hit me that bothering with the overhead of a filesystem was probably quite silly when I wasn't planning to access the settings externally. So now I'm just writing a bunch of data to flash directly.
Only catch is needing to worry about write block sizes and make sure I don't overwrite other data within the same block
