Microwatt is a small and easy-to-understand open-source softcore written in VHDL 2008. It can be simulated using the ghdl simulator or built directly for a hardware target board. To build Micropython, a cross compiler may be needed if not building on a ppc64le box. The Microwatt project uses ghdl for simulation, and it recommends building […]
In this email, the author brings attention to a security issue with Firefox running on X11. They explain that any script from any webpage can exploit the browser’s ability to write to the primary selection, which can then be used to run arbitrary code on the user’s machine. Surprisingly, no user interaction is required for […]
