Recon CFP ends in less than 2 weeks on April 28. Prices for the training and conference increase on May 1st. Register now to save with early bird price. We have already announced a few talks and workshops, and more videos from last year have been released. recon.cx #reverseengineering #cybersecurity #offensivesecurity #hardwarehacking @hackingump1 @mr_phrazer @nicolodev @SinSinology @hunterbr72 @clearbluejar @phLaul @oryair1999 @hookgab @TheQueenofELF @So11Deo6loria @i0n1c @pedrib1337 @MalachiJonesPhD @Pat_Ventuzelo @KB_Intel @pinkflawd @Reverse_Tactics @OnlyTheDuck @t0nvi @drch40s @BrunoPujos @mhoste1 @andreyknvl @texplained_RE @jsmnsr @pulsoid @SpecterDev @richinseattle @yarden_shafir @aionescu @hackerschoice @SinSinology @sergeybratus @SpecterOps @oryair1999 @phLaul @trailofbits @HexRaysSA @nostarch

Some numbers. $2,500 is left on our fundraiser. We're halfway. I'd freaking love to hit that.

But if we can't, bare-bones I need $300 for a generator rental (we are off-grid and fully self-powered. More funds and I'll do bigger solar this gear), $100 for educational decor, and I pulled $700 from my (meager) savings for poorer campers already.

$1,100 would do a LOT.

So the DEFCON 32 badge can be repurposed into a hardware hacking multi-tool. I flashed the custom firmware FREE-WILi created for the badge. It is limited since I don’t have all available GPIO pins that the Raspberry Pico does but do have some, USB serial, and I2C control. It seems like a bus pirate variant maybe? Someone with actual hardware hacking experience can correct me on that.

My cat Susy LOVES her rechargable, motorized cat toys seen in the pic. But I've now had to repair both of them. Tonight was the smaller (and also newer) one at the top. Both have now had their gearmotors replaced with new ones I found on Ebay. The new motors appear identical, but are MUCH quieter than the originals, which is nice since they can turn on in the middle of the night.

Whenever I feel like I'm in a rut, doing something I'm supposed to be good at (or even an "expert" in, whatever that means), I lookup up the tutorials meant for absolute beginners or novices of that thing

E.G. At this point, I've made thousands of PCBs at home, but this one by Wesley Treat was both cathartic and helped me figure out something

I'm currently (together with meshing) getting OpenWRT up and running on the TP-Link Deco M9+ devices. I'm on the v1 hardware, he's on v2.

The v1 has an 8MB SPI-NOR plus a massive 4GB eMMC while the v2 has a single 128MB NAND.

I'm having issues with the eMMC and this is a post looking for help from other hardware hackers.

Thanks to the GPL I have TP-Link's own configuration, but it's for a much older version of OpenWRT. I'm currently stuck on;

```
[ 20.216206] mmc0: cache flush error -84
[ 20.254030] mmc0: tried to HW reset card, got error -84
[ 20.254072] mmcblk0: recovery failed!
```
(followed by I/O errors)

The mmc is otherwise detected correctly, size and partitions etc.

The TP-Link config has an;

```
sd-ldo-gpios = <&tlmm 33 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
```

... and I can find the code using it in the old OpenWRT sdhci-msm.c with the comment "Toggle SD LDO GPIO on Init".

But the current OpenWRT version doesn't seem to have such a code path.

I have no idea if this is connected to my problem, but I'm running out of ideas here. The mmc works fine if I boot the TP-Link kernel of course.
