field notes from an embedded software specialist

The software that runs on hardware you didn't know was a computer.

I'm Jhonata Poma-Hansen - bomba for short. Embedded Software Specialist at Bang & Olufsen, based in Hvidovre, raised in Catania between Linux user groups and rap jams. This blog is where I write up what I'm doing when it's gnarly enough to deserve a careful explanation - mostly Yocto, BSP bring-ups, kernel work, and occasional field notes from the rack.
