NanoV2 was only used for smaller size classes. The current allocator is xzone malloc: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/libmalloc/blob/ma...

I have the same issue, I'm in an area with underground utilities so Sonic isn't an option, it's just Comcast or Monkeybrains. But the problem with Monkeybrains is that they had me behind a IPv4 NAT with no IPv6, and when I asked them to change that, I ended up with very bad packet loss that their technical support couldn't resolve.
Post the FB numbers and perhaps some helpful readers may be able to take a look?

I've found that geizhals.eu is great for this sort of stuff. Here's an example for Intel LGA1151v2: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbp4_1151v2

You can filter by details like the LAN chipset (e.g. Realtek RTL8111E, AQuantia AQC107, etc), the audio chipset, etc.

It's a fairly recent project, you can see the original announcement from the team on the LLVM mailing list in September 2019: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-September/135...

I was looking into this last night, and just wanted to point out that Ubiquiti's 3rd generation APs do support 802.11w. The feature is labeled "Protected Management Frames" (PMF) under the WLAN Group settings on the controller.

Are you the author? Great job for the detailed writeup. Small nit, I noticed you misspelled the interpreter section, it should be .interp instead of .intrep
Re:Chip 2.0: High Level C to Verilog with Python Bindings on Saturday May 12, 2018 @06:18PM (#17056298)
Does anyone know how this compares to LegUp [0], an academic HLS tool for C to Verilog? Apparently that tool has also been commercialized into a startup [1].

For an FPGA to play around with, the Lattice ECP-5G is really nice: http://www.latticesemi.com/en/Products/FPGAandCPLD/ECP5andEC... . PCIE and DDR3, in a $99 dev board.
