Yeah!!, my first post

I have been putting off starting this blog for ages.  Now that its a new year, it is time to set thing in motion.

The purpose of this blog is to help me keep track of any tricks, artifacts, tid-bits of knowledge, or tools that I have come across along the way as firmware engineer.  I've been at this for about 18 years now mostly working on bare metal firmware for ASICs such as bluetooth basebands (Marvell (88W8688, 88W8787, 88W8797), SSD controllers (Sandforce SF2200), etc.)  

Now I have recently changed jobs and my first opportunity working on Linux.  I've been wanting to do this for so long, but I have never been able to find anytime to work on it as a hobby.  If I do work on it, it just feels like work.  But now that is a job, working on linux feels more like a hobby than anything else.  Its actually fun and there is just so much to learn.  

So that is where I am at and if everything works out as I have intended, this blog will journal my adventures in Linux and IOT related stuff which I can reference to and perhaps others will find helpful.

Happy New Year 2015!!
