The M5Stack Tab5 Hot on the heels of my ESP32 display detour–which went from Cydintosh to Flying Toasters on an ESP32-S3 and then, inevitably, R-Type–I ended up with an M5Stack Tab5 on my desk as a(...) #electronics #embedded #emulation #esp32 #hardware #iot #m5stack #reviews #riscv https://taoofmac.com/space/reviews/2026/07/18/1920?utm_content=atom&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@nieldk/116871917491185090 In case you missed it, look again . A fully standalone #blackmagicprobe (or, of course, you can use it with your PC, as usually) on #cardputer #m5stack https://codeberg.org/nieldk/blackmagic-cardputer Laptop-Free Standalone Operation: Acts as a completely self-contained field tool. You can scan, attach, read registers, hex-dump memory, and flash firmware directly using only the Cardputer's keyboard and screen—no PC required. Dynamic USB Mass Storage (⁠usbmode msc⁠): Overcomes the ESP32-S3's hardware USB limitations by letting you toggle the device into a USB flash drive. You can drag and drop ⁠.elf⁠ or ⁠.bin⁠ files directly from a PC into its internal 3MB storage, then swap back to debugger mode. Error-Proof Auto Pin Detection: The ⁠swd_scan⁠ command automatically tests both Grove pin orderings. If you accidentally swap your ⁠SWDIO⁠ and ⁠SWCLK⁠ wires when connecting to a target, the firmware automatically detects it and adjusts the logic. Built-In Target Emulator (⁠monitor emulate⁠): Spawns a synthetic STM32F103 target completely in the Cardputer's internal memory. It tricks the Black Magic stack into thinking a real chip is attached, allowing you to test flashing, GDB commands, and memory dumps on a plane or couch without any hardware wires. Smart Flash Protection & Auto-Detection: The on-device ⁠flash⁠ command reads file headers to automatically distinguish between ELF and raw binary formats. It will cleanly reject a file if the target address falls outside the connected chip's actual flash/RAM map, preventing accidental corruption. On-Device Command Console (REPL): Features a full interactive command line on the tiny screen that supports the Cardputer's full keyboard shift layers, allowing you to type native Black Magic monitor commands and symbols (⁠_⁠, ⁠!⁠, ⁠@⁠, ⁠#⁠) on the fly. 50-Line Scrollback Buffer: Includes a dedicated screen history layout navigated via keyboard shortcuts (⁠Fn + ;⁠ and ⁠Fn + .⁠), ensuring you don't lose track of long register dumps or multi-line error messages on the small display. Dual USB-CDC Mirrored Output: Simultaneously mirrors all on-screen command outputs to a secondary virtual COM port as raw text. You can plug it into a laptop terminal to easily log, view, or capture a full day of field debugging text.
