#RaspberryPiPico: #BreadboardOS (BBOS, if you like) - as its namesake implies - is a #firmware platform aimed at quick #prototyping.

BBOS provides tools out of the box that make developing projects much easier. BBOS provides a command line interface (or CLI) that lets you #interface with the RP2040 board directly. This makes it possible to not only interact with the Pi but also handle practical functions like real-time debugging. This can be a time saver when troubleshooting, getting you closer to your end project faster.

In the #cybersecurity field, engineers are always looking for vulnerabilities in order to fix them and prevent other actors could taking advantage of them. The tools used by these engineers can be expensive and, on many occasions, the tools don't fit exactly with the requirements that engineers need. In this project, I want to present an open-source hardware platform with some tools used in cybersecurity, especially in pen testing. The board is named Hackbat and features an RF transceiver, NFC communication, SD card, USB, and #WIFI. All of this is managed by the #RaspberryPI #microcontroller RP2040. The schematic and the PCB design are open-source and are available on GitHub. Let's take a part-by-part look at the #Hackbat.
You can automate much of your home and devices with a Raspberry Pi and open-source Home Assistant
This article is a worthy reminder that are already many things in your home which you can automate from garage door openers, to your home router, to a solar system, to lights, to speakers, and so much more.
Home Assistant has hundreds of ready to use integrations that just hook up with these devices, either directly or via their cloud services. This can provide a nice dashboard of what is on or off, what has warnings, to keep an eye on your Ring video doorbell or Reolink CCTV system, etc.
I’ve even found a way to use this to show some statuses on my Stream Deck and have a quick button to reboot my router.
It gets even more powerful when you set some basic automation rules like for sunsets or sunrises, when it starts to rain, when a battery level drops too low. I have various of these set up to announce over the home speakers.
All it costs you is to use a spare Raspberry Pi or to buy one.

Hackbat: This Raspberry Pi hacking tool is what the Flipper One could have been
The whole thing runs off of a Raspberry Pi RP2040 and open-source code. It has modules for NFC, SD card, and Wi-Fi communication, plus it features a miniature display so you can tell what it’s doing. If you want to make your own, the Hackster page features everything you need to know to get started, from the hardware to the code used for the project.
It is open-source and cheaper than the Flipper Zero, so maybe those who held out on a Flipper Zero will find this more appealing.

How to update the firmware on Raspberry Pi
Essentially, firmware is a form of low-level software that instructs hardware on how to operate and interact with other devices and components. For instance, firmware tells a computer to turn on when you press the power button, and it also tells a Raspberry Pi how to read micro-SD cards and USB drives.
Depending on what you do with your Raspberry Pi, you might never need to update its firmware. Aside from the occasional bug fix, you only have to update your Raspberry if you upgrade a project with new processors, memory chips, or printed circuit boards. You probably won’t need a firmware update if you only use the Raspberry Pi to power a mini RC rover, but if you feel like adding a bit more processing power to a device running Windows 11, you’d better install new firmware.
So, this may mostly not really be required, but it is handy to know if you plan to re-purpose your Pi with newer hardware.
