Hackaday Supercon 2022 - Charles Lohr - Assembly in 2022 - Yes! We Still Use it and Here's Why

Explore the enduring relevance and power of assembly language programming in modern computing through this insightful conference talk from Hackaday Supercon 2022. Dive into Charles Lohr's passion for low-level code and discover how assembly can blur the lines between software and hardware, enabling seemingly impossible feats. Learn to do more with less by understanding assembly basics, exploring tools that facilitate comprehension, and seeing how this knowledge applies to various applications. From creating RF-modulated video signals on 8-bit microcontrollers to running Minecraft servers on sub-$1 microcontrollers, gain insights into pushing the boundaries of what's possible with minimal resources. Cover topics such as GDB layout, binary opcodes, inline assembly, linker scripts, and practical examples using ATTiny85 Ethernet and ESP32S2, all while understanding the historical context through references to classic software like RollerCoaster Tycoon.
