Recently laid off from a job and now have quite a bit of free time. I am in a good spot to work on something interesting before searching for new jobs and have a goal to write a custom firmware for my S19k Pro. I have decent software engineering experience and have worked with RaspberryPis in the past, but have never worked directly with any of the Antminer hardware. Currently, I am in a position where I don't even know how much I don't know, but I am all up for banging my head against a wall for a couple of months.

I am not interested in monetizing this in any capacity and will keep it fully open-sourced (github link will be posted once that exists).

Right now I am in the very beginning stages trying to identify all of the unknowns (which is a lot), but plan to update here periodically on my progress.

I am hoping for advice and to connect with bitcoin nerds, but am also here for the discouragement
