Does it emulate RS232 ports and printer ports as well ? I did'nt find anything. Then it would be possible to reuse old embedded equipment.

I don't know about executable signing, but in the embedded world SecureBoot is also used to serve the PRODUCER; id est provide guarantees to the PRODUCER that the firmware of the device they SELL has not been tampered with at some point in the PROFIT chain.

If you're in a market where a ASIL certification is needed, the customers ONLY care about this certifications. I keeps them out of jail.

No, the exact reverse: Hide away the brain-damaging GIT database system behind a proxy, so that I can (again!) concentrate on my job as developer.
Instead I have to spend at least one day every week as "version managment administrator" just to keep GIT from falling apart because of weird internal errors.
I will never understand why a plain user must deal with internal data structures (like db-indieces) of some tool on a day to day basis.

Every few sentences there there is a remark like "This circuit might have edge cases,... "...perfect for the majority of use cases,..".
In other words: It will, at best, work on the developers table, but nowhere else.
Why is somebody publishing examples that won't work in the real world ?

GIT is the only source control system where you can completly loose commited data by actions (or commands) available the non-admin user. It's funny to see that this is considered a "feature" and not a design failure.

Yep, the "auto" keyword was added because even the inventors of the template system had a understanding of the syntax they created.
