“The U.S. is gravely concerned about #China’s ambitions in Taiwan, with the U.S. Commerce Secretary proclaiming that a Chinese seizure of TSMC would devastate the American economy. This has progressed to the point that #TSMC’s #Taiwan fabs are equipped with remote self-destruct functions in case of any hostile invasion.” #politics

#Spreadtrum firmware dumper for #ghettobotics. “1. Feature phones based on the SC6530/SC6531DA/SC6531E chipset. 2. So far, only a flash dump.

"UniFlash" an opensource Unisoc/#Spreadtrum feature phone flash reader/writer. Cross-platform MediaTek feature phone dumping had been achieved long ago with MTreader. Now it’s time to do the same for Unisoc (ex-Spreadtrum) phones. And not only that, but also to be able to flash them and extract their compressed firmware contents!” #ghettobotics #electronics #hardware
