NXP MCIMX8M-EVKB boot switch settings

I couldn't find a concise summary, so I looked at the schematics (page 11 of SPF-3880_A2.pdf).

• SW802 is the main mode switch, two position.
• SW801 is the secondary switched, used if "internal boot (development) is selected.

SW802

SW1 is BOOTMODE_1, and SW2 is BOOTMODE_0. The board ships with SW1=1 and SW2=0.

Getting your FAR & DFARS report from sam.gov

I had occasion to get my company's FAR and DFARS reports from sam.gov recently, and the process was surprisingly obscure. I did a search, but all I found were videos on YouTube that were out of date; and I wasn't able to find a help article that explained what to do.

So here's a quick runthrough.

1. Log into sam.gov

2. The website will open your "Workspace" page. Click on the "Active" entities bubble:

Setting Up Inbound OpenSSH (sshd) access on Windows 10 and 11

The OpenSSH SSHD service on Windows 10 an 11 is extremely useful, but a bit tricky to set up. Here are my notes on how to do it.

1. Follow the instructions from [[1]] to "Install OpenSSH" via Windows Settings. Alternately, use PowerShell:

   Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client
   Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server

Desktop Extension from PC to Galaxy Tab A7

Problem statement: use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 with OneUI 3.1 as a seccond screen on Windows.

According to Samsung at time of writing, a "Second Screen" button comes as part of the OneUI 3.1 update (article here). However, for me (as for many people), this doesn't work on a Galaxy Tab A7, at least with OneUI 3.1.

The solution that works for me is a free application called spacedesk from DatronicSoft in Germany.

Steps to install on tablet:
